Songs Have a Life of Their Own Lyrics

It must have been last call, last song

Slipped me a twenty dollar bill

She said can you play one, that takes one

Where the memories stand still

Love lights faded, in the Autumn chill

She'd trade-em, for a summer thrill

Like the soundtrack behind her story line

When that song was number one, back in her prime

Songs have a life, a life of their own

Unlock forgotten fragments, black and white to Kodachrome

Songs have a life, take on this life of their own

A melody rewinds us back, reminds us when we feel alone

We're not alone

The muse and the memories

Fuse all these emotions to mind

In shades of the blues in reverie forever sublime

Somehow rhythm and rhyme intertwine

Make a valentine, sweeter than wine

Make the world a bit less cold and unkind

And for a little while, leave all our worries behind

Songs have a life, a life of their own

Like legendary fairy tales, the world has ever known

Songs have a life, take on this life of their own

And music how it never fails

To melt a heart of ice and stone

When old friends desert you, hurt you

But the music will last

Old songs return you, stolen moments

A postcard from the past

If I had a dollar, for the nickels and dimes

I dropped in some jukebox, back in time

No money wasted, heavily rotated in my mind

Solid Gold plated, I've contemplated and lately I find

Songs have a life, a life of their own

Conceived in inspiration, solitary soul creation

Songs cool the strife, in this life I have known

From the discord there comes harmony

Sweet music of the spheres

And always be a part of me, and ageless through the years

Like ripples on the water, when we drop the tiniest little stone

They go on, even after we're gone

Songs have a life of their own
