Lyrics
Music, My Dearest Friend
[Verse 1]
When the night grows still, and shadows creep,
The world forgets its promises, leaves me to weep.
But a melody hums, soft and warm,
A soothing embrace through life's cold storm.
[Prechorus]
It whispers secrets, a gentle blend,
Music stays, my dearest friend.
[Chorus]
Oh, music stays when all else is gone,
Its rhythm beats steady, like a heart of its own.
When voices fade and love's threads rend,
Music remains—my truest friend.
[Verse 2]
Through muted horns and strings that sigh,
It paints the stars across my sky.
A waltz, a swing, a tender croon,
It dances with me beneath the moon.
[Bridge]
When laughter wanes and tears descend,
It holds my hand until I mend.
A loyal tune, no need to pretend,
Forever faithful, my one constant friend.
[Chorus]
Oh, music stays when all else is gone,
Its rhythm beats steady, like a heart of its own.
When voices fade and love's threads rend,
Music remains—my truest friend.
