Carmen McRae
Music
Things may always stay the way they are
Still my head looks for a change from time to time
I don't really mean to look that far
Strike up the music
Turn on the music
Let the music change my mind

Now don't I dig the big time rock and roll
Sit in the darkness and be somebody else
A time which after all is under control
Crank out the music
Give me music
Let the music fill the air

My dear friend, your head's been sinking like a stone
You must try thinking like a cloud sometimes
Just leave a happy sigh out loud sometimes
There's a symphony inside you
There's a thousand things for you to do, so come on

[Chorus]
Let a hush fall on the movie crowd
Boy turns to girl and says I love you so
All I hear in here is violins
Give me music
Mr. music
Let the music be there too

You see that cat
His head's been sinking like a stone
He must try thinking like a cloud sometime
He better leave a happy sigh out loud sometime
There's a symphony inside you
There's a million things for you to do, so come on

Let a hush fall on the movie crowd
Boy turns to girl and says I love you so
All I hear in here is violins
Gimme music
Got to have music
Let the music be there too
Hand out that music
I gotta hear music
Let the music be there too
I love to love to music
Do everything good to music
Let the music be there too
