The Band Is Playing Too Slow

(album: Chris Knight - 1998)

It's midnight and the music is playing
It's the same old song every night
The melody is made out of memories
The words you and I used to write
I paid the band when you left me
Expecting them to pack it in
But heartaches's a stubborn musician
And it's playing a waltz that won't end

And I can't help but remember you
Morning high midnight low
I don't want to dance with your memory
But somehow I can't let you go
The band is playing too slow

Now I've got to find a new partner
And get on with my life
But these dreams of moonlight dances with you are still sweet
If a little off time

And I can't help but remember you
Morning high midnight low
I don't want to dance with your memory
But somehow I can't let you go
The band is playing too slow
