| The lights come up, the show is over
|
| The theater empties as the credits roll by
|
| This house is cold, the song is fading
|
| I sit alone as curtains close on this heart of mine
|
| And I wonder how it all came down
|
| To the famous final scene
|
| How we lost the thread that held us
|
| Spellbound in a dream
|
| Now the stage is dark
|
| And the theaters cold and lonely
|
| The music fades
|
| Like an interrupted melody
|
| We wrote the score
|
| Now I hear the words «if only»
|
| Hangin' in the air
|
| Like an interrupted melody
|
| The word began, my life found meaning
|
| The very moment when I saw your face
|
| All traffic stopped, I held you breathless
|
| I melted into you and lost all sense of time and space
|
| Now I could’ve sworn forever’s touch
|
| Had surely leny a glove
|
| In conducting our life’s symphony
|
| The melody of love
|
| Now the stage is dark
|
| And the theaters cold and lonely
|
| The music fades
|
| Like an interrupted melody
|
| We wrote the score
|
| Now I hear the words «if only»
|
| Hangin' in the air
|
| Like an interrupted melody
|
| I, I’ve been searching for the reason
|
| Tell me, why, are we strangers to the song
|
| Oh, could we go back to the season
|
| When we walked this earth together
|
| Two against the storm
|
| Now the stage is dark
|
| And the theaters cold and lonely
|
| The music fades
|
| Like an interrupted melody
|
| We wrote the score
|
| Now I hear the words «if only»
|
| Hangin' in the air
|
| Like an interrupted melody |
