Band Played On Lyrics by Martin McDaniel

Then There’s Me

0

[Verse 1]
In a downtown bar on a Friday night
She was standing there in the neon light
She spilled her drink and I stepped in
That's where this all began
She took my hand
And my heart was gone
[Chorus]
And the band played on
We raised our drinks
And we sang along
In a room full of people we were all alone
Swaying and dancing
Taking chances on the stars
And her eyes that I was wishing on
And she pulled me close
Said "don't let go"
Falling farther with every single song
And the band played on
Yeah the band played on
[Verse 2]
By the time her friends got ready to leave
She was so wrapped in me
And all the songs the band kept playing
She smiled at me when she said "I'm staying"
Whiskey and the feelings we had were strong
[Chorus]
And the band played on
We raised our drinks
And we sang along
In a room full of people we were all alone
Swaying and dancing
Taking chances on the stars
And her eyes that I was wishing on
And she pulled me close
Said "don't let go"
Falling farther with every single song
And the band played on
[Bridge]
I stole a kiss as the lights came on
And the crowd was screaming for one more song
She said "please tell me this is not the end"
And then those old guitars started playing again
[Chorus]
We raised our drinks
And we sang along
In a room full of people we were all alone
Swaying and dancing
Taking chances on the stars
And her eyes that I was wishing on
And she pulled me close
Said "don't let go"
Falling farther with every single song
And the band played on
Yeah the band played on
Yeah the band played on
