Als die Musik erklang
Udo Jürgens
When The Music Sounded
They laughed and drank around us
The night was soft and dreamy
But between us sat cold and heavy
The silence at the table
I was looking for words from happy times
I've missed your laughter for too long'
I wanted to tell you I'm sorry
When the music sounded
You looked at me with a strange look
In silent defiance you left me
Then the other man greeted you with a smile
And stood waiting beside you
He said the word I couldn't find
That only swung darkly in my heart
You took the other's hand trustingly
When the music sounded
He laughed and led you away to dance
He firmly placed his arm and you
There was a new shine in your eyes
And it became empty around me
I thought back to the happy times
I wanted to hold you for a lifetime
But you were already so unreachable far
When the music sounded
Yes, that is the melody
That runs through my life
Our farewell melody
I'll never forget her
Yes, that is the melody
That runs through my life
Our farewell melody
I'll never forget her
