Lynn Ahrens - New Music lyrics

FATHER: Where have I been How did we change Caught in this strange New music Say, was I away too long MOTHER: Just like that tune Simple and clear I've come to hear New music FATHER: New music MOTHER: Why Why can't you hear the song YOUNGER BROTHER: His fingers stroke those keys And every note says "Please" And every chord says "Turn my way" MOTHER, FATHER: I thought I knew what love was But these lovers play MOTHER, FATHER, YOUNGER BROTHER: New music Haunting me And somehow taunting me My love was never half as true FATHER: And I ask myself Why can't I sing it too ENSEMBLE: His fingers stroke those keys And every note says "Please" And every chord says "Turn my way" I thought I knew what love was But these lovers play New music Haunting me And somehow taunting me My love was never half as true COALHOUSE: Sarah, my life has changed Sarah, you've got to see Sarah, we got a son Sarah, come down to me SARAH: You and your music Singing deep in me Making nice to me Saying something so new COALHOUSE: New SARAH: Changing everything Meaning everything COALHOUSE: Music SARAH: Calling my heart to you COALHOUSE: All for you, girl You, Sarah SARAH: Play that melody Your sweet melody Calling my heart to you COALHOUSE: You ENSEMBLE: Just like that tune Simple and clear I've come to hear New music Breaking my heart Op'ning a door Changing the world New music I'll hear it forevermore
