How Do You Keep The Music Playing

Duet with Patti Austin

How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone
and never lose your ways?

How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name

I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday
to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
(How do you keep the music playing?)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(How do you make it last)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever

(How do you keep the song from fading
keep the song from fading too fast)
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday
to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends
