Lyrics
I was young, I was poor
Life was harsh and unsure
But a fatherless girl can't complain
Then my fate changed by chance
With an innocent dance
With a man who was older
And richer and bolder
A man with a taste for champagne
And girls like me
Too blind to see
But when the music played
The world would fade away
And I'd sail across the floor
Caring less
Wanting more
When the music played
Somehow my soul obeyed
Heaven would be whispering my name
When the music played
So I gave and he took
With a word
With a look
I was captured inside of his game
There I was, still a girl
In the devil's own world
With a girl who was older
And wiser and colder
A girl who felt hunger and shame
Yes, I served like a slave
Sins I'll take to my grave
But when the music played
The world would fade away
And I'd sail across the floor
Caring less
Wanting more
When the music played
Somehow my soul obeyed
Heaven only knows what I became
When the music played
And I hated him
And I wanted him
And I met with him more than I should
And he'd frighten me
How he'd hold me
Like he owned me
I said, "Stay away"
But he wouldn't
Oh God, stay away
But I couldn't
I had to end it
I had to leave
Can you forgive me?
Put the pain aside
Put the past away
Look into my eyes
And let the music play
Yesterdays fade away
To a world we restore
Wanting less
Caring more
Let the music play
For who we are today
Let me hear you whispering my name
When the music plays
When the music plays
When the music plays
