The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Let the band play on, play until the dawn
Music is the language of romance
Look behind the scenes, think what music means
No one is unhappy while he’s dancing
Refrain
Sweet music makes a rainy day seem clear again
It brings you near, again, to me
Sweet music makes a bitter word grow sweet again
Two hearts can beat, again, in harmony
We’ve learned to sing a song in spring and yet,
If I forget it by December, Will you remember?
Sweet music makes the same old story new again
I bring to you, again, my song
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
