While the Music Plays On - Helen O'Connell, Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra

Each night in some cafe, I’m on display

Until the dark turns into dawn

Up upon the stand singing with the band

While the music plays on Each night is just a long and endless song

Until the last couple has gone

Vainly I’m the star singing out my heart

While the music plays on Oh what madness to discover

Music still possesses all its charms

As I serenade my lover

Dancing by in someone else’s arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd

What happens when romance has gone

I must hid my fears singing through the tears

While the music plays on Oh what madness to discover

Music still possesses all its charms

As I serenade my lover

Dancing by in someone else’s arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd

What happens when romance has gone

I must hid my fears singing through the tears

While the music plays on
