Lyrics
If music be the food of love, sing on, sing on, sing on, sing on '
Til I am filled, I'm filled with joy For then my listening soul you
Move For then my listening soul you move With pleasures that can
Never cloy Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare That you're
Music everywhere Your eyes, your mien, your tongue declare
That you're music everywhere Pleasures invade both eye and
Ear So fierce, so fierce, so fierce, so fierce That truant
Thoughts all they woo And all my senses feasted are And all my
Senses feasted are For yet the trade is only sound Sure
I must perish by your charms Unless you seal me in your arms Sure
I must perish by your charms Unless you seal me in your arms
