Thunder When the Music Played song lyrics

I was young, I was poor,

life was harsh and unsure

but a fatherless girl can't complain

then my fate chased 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 blinded to see

But when the music played, the world would fade away

And I'd sail 'cross 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

But 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 'cross 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, yet I wanted him, and I met with him more than I should

And it frightened 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

Yesterday's 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
