Interrupted Melody Lyrics

The lights come up, the show is over
The theater empties as the credits roll by
This house is cold, the song is fading
I sit alone as curtains close on this heart of mine

And I wonder how it all came down
To the famous final scene
How we lost the thread that held us
Spellbound in a dream

[Chorus]
Now the stage is dark
And the theaters cold and lonely
The music fades
Like an interrupted melody
We wrote the score
Now I hear the words "if only"
Hangin' in the air
Like an interrupted melody

The word began, my life found meaning
The very moment when I saw your face
All traffic stopped, I held you breathless
I melted into you and lost all sense of time and space

Now I could've sworn forever's touch
Had surely leny a glove
In conducting our life's symphony
The melody of love

[Chorus]
Now the stage is dark
And the theaters cold and lonely
The music fades
Like an interrupted melody
We wrote the score
Now I hear the words "if only"
Hangin' in the air
Like an interrupted melody

I - I've been searching for the reason
Tell me - why - are we strangers to the song
Oh - could we go back to the season
When we walked this earth together
Two against the storm

[Chorus]
Now the stage is dark
And the theaters cold and lonely
The music fades
Like an interrupted melody
We wrote the score
Now I hear the words "if only"
Hangin' in the air
Like an interrupted melody
