Patti Austin, James Ingram - How Do You Keep the Music Playing? lyrics

How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading
Too fast?

How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things to say?

And since you know we're always changing
How can it be the same?

And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart won't fall apart
Each time you hear his name?

I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every
Day to make it better as it grows
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends

I know how do you keep the music playing?
The way I feel for you is now or never
How do you make it last? The more I love
The more that I'm afraid
How do you keep the song from fading?
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Keep the song from fading forever

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every
Day to make it better as it goes
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends
How do you keep it playing, baby? Oh (Oh)
I wanna know, how do you do it?
How do you keep the music
Playing over and over?
