《Before The Music Ends [Finale]》歌词

[00:00:00] Before The Music Ends [Finale

[00:00:14] I reached the age of forty somewhat sooner than expected

[00:00:20] Living at a fairly hectic pace

[00:00:26] When I count the years that I have happily collected

[00:00:31] The future shows its apprehensive face

[00:00:39] (But now Francis what the hell do you do now Francis )

[00:00:51] Quite a different song must be sung

[00:00:56] When the singer is no longer young

[00:01:14] Before the music ends before it fades away

[00:01:23] There are several very necessary things I must do

[00:01:34] Friends I must be again certain places where I must be again

[00:01:47] Before the music ends I must go to Hoboken one more time

[00:02:08] (pause)

[00:02:14] I wanna run down that street where that thin Italian kid ran

[00:02:23] Then slow down at the school

[00:02:28] Where those nice old ladies tried to teach me

[00:02:35] Unaware that I knew much more than they did

[00:02:43] And stop at the poolroom for a beer

[00:02:51] And sadly say to myself I don't know anybody here

[00:03:03] (Francis don't go home again )

[00:03:13] One thing I'd like to do before the music ends

[00:03:23] Is to thank some wonderful life-long friends

[00:03:29] I've never met but have known so well

[00:03:42] From one Frank to another thank you for your dream

[00:03:57] Your dream is now my own

[00:04:03] And thank you Ludwig Van

[00:04:09] For the flight of fancy you sent me on

[00:04:16] Thank Mrs Verdi for Joe and a special thanks to Jackelo (Jackelo Jackelo)

[00:04:40] All of you took turns in delivering sunrise a little sooner to my window

[00:05:19] Before the music ends with company by Dino and Clark

[00:05:30] I'd like to make one more charge at Baker's

[00:05:43] You won't find me at that idiot wheel that spins and spins and spins

[00:05:48] I won't play the slot machine the management always wins

[00:05:52] Not for me the game where the jack is called black

[00:05:56] And meet them dikes that stand back

[00:05:59] (And you're actually down the line and a hundred on the drum)

[00:06:06] (Is enough to make you shy load the truck with speaker's drum)

[00:06:15] You won't hear me talk about saving new shoes baby's got 57 pairs

[00:06:23] All I ask is Time just plain and simple Time

[00:06:27] (just a little tiny boo just a little business free)

[00:06:31] (time time time time time time time time time time) Time

[00:06:40] (pause)

[00:06:50] In years to come I may forget if I lost or if I won

[00:07:07] But I'll always remember how much fun it was

[00:07:28] (just concentrate on five and four just stick to six and three)

[00:07:41] (pause)

[00:08:00] And when the music ends I'd like it to end this way

[00:08:16] I'll ask Chester to write me one more song

[00:08:22] I'll get Lesty to make me one more chart

[00:08:28] And I'll make one more record with the best musicians in the world

[00:08:48] (Fanfare)

[00:09:13] And when that cat with the sight comes tugging at my sleeve

[00:09:26] I'll be singing (Sandra Sandra Sandra) as I leave (Sandra)
