Lyrics
Ev’ryone has a favorite song
My heart has one, too
But I lost my favorite song
That’s why I’m so blue
Chorus
I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven
‘Cause you were the song
Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn’t mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music
I know I was wrong
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be
More than just friends, just friends
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darling, when I say
I won’t know sweet music
Until you return some day
Performance
