All my life and it's been a short one;
I've met the happy and the sad together
I chased the soft warm air that flew before me,
And through the storm on wings of love,
the song of life bore me

And when the music starts to play let e be around, (I said)
When the music starts to play let me be around
Oh, can't you see how my heart soars high,
When I hear that music
When the music starts to play let me be around

When sadness lays his cold fist on my shoulder,
And pushes me in icy waters drowning,
The gentle hand of music lifts me smiling,
And through these sounds my heart takes bounds,
I happy am
