the band is playing too slow

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
