I hear that love came out of no place
You thought you'd never dance again
Isn't love strange to somehow know when
You heart dares to open again
I've been alot of things
Since our old times
And I don't claim to understand
How a kind woman and a good man
Leave two parting trails in the sand
Chorus:
I will always see something in you
That belongs here with me
And we can only hope
That after we're gone
There is some gentle glow
Some faint fading light
Here for old times
It's a rare thing, living this life
To really know what loving is
What you show me is
That we're worthy of
All of the love we can give
When I was worlds younger
Full of young wonder
I dreamed of how my life could be
I didn't see some things
I never knew life could bring
All this love out in me
Chorus
And as I read these lines
Shadows crawling into light
I just follow along
To me it's so much more than a song
This is how I'm living, it's how I love
It's all I know
I've been a lot of things
Since our old times
And I don't claim to understand
How a kind woman and a good man
Leave parting trails in the sand(B. Cummings - D. Troiano)
Round about ‘20 the folks had plenty
No, they couldn't ask for too much more,
THE FATHA kept thumpin' and THE SATCH got jumpin'
And they rang right through with a roar,
Then around ‘30 when things got dirty
All the players meant a whole lot more
THE DUKE got stompin' and THE COUNT started rompin'
And what do you think it was for?
They put power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now,
They put power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...
Round about ‘40 when things got sporty
They were dancin' every night till dawn,
THE BIRD got ‘em hoppin' with his crazy be-boppin'
And FRANKIE crooned on and on,
Then around ‘50 when folks got nifty
They were gettin' round to bendin' an ear,
CHUCK was duck-walkin' and THE KING got rockin'
And what do you think was here?
They got power in the music, and boy, you oughta hear it now,
They got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how...
Then FOUR BOYS made a brand new noise, from far beyond the sea.
We loved ALL FOUR and we yelled for more, it was natural as could be,
Watts went up and loose ends went down, now it's anything it wants to be.
We got power in the music, and boy you oughta hear it now,
We got power in the music, the boys are gonna show you how,
Don't you know they gave it power, power in the music,
YAH YAH YAH,
Can't you feel it giving you now, power in the music,
YAY, YAY, YAY,
Can't you feel it growing every day, power in the music,
YAZ,YAZ,YAZ,
Don't you feel it disbursing, power in the music,
