How do you keep the music playing
How do you make it last
How do keep the song from fading too fast

How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way
How do you not run out of new things to say

And since we know 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 am 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 every day 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)
(How do you make it last)
The more I love the more that I am afraid
(How do keep the song from fading)
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 every day to make it better as it grows
With any luck then I suppose, the music
Never ends, never ends, never ends, never ends
