Interrupted Melody in Pride of Lions

The lights come up, the show is over
The theater empties as the credits roll by
This house is cold, the song is fading
I sit alone as curtains close on this heart of mine

And I wonder how it all came down
To the famous final scene
How we lost the thread that held us
Spellbound in a dream

Now the stage is dark
And the theaters cold and lonely
The music fades
Like an interrupted melody
We wrote the score
Now I hear the words "if only"
Hangin' in the air
Like an interrupted melody

The world began, my life found meaning
The very moment when I saw your face
All traffic stopped, I held you breathless
I melted into you and lost all sense of time and space

Now I could've sworn forever's touch
Had surely lent a glove
In conducting our life's symphony
The melody of love

Now the stage is dark
And the theaters cold and lonely
The music fades
Like an interrupted melody
We wrote the score
Now I hear the words "if only"
Hangin' in the air
Like an interrupted melody

I - I've been searching for the reason
Tell me - why - are we strangers to the song
Oh - could we go back to the season
When we walked this earth together
Two against the storm

Now the stage is dark
And the theaters cold and lonely
The music fades
Like an interrupted melody
We wrote the score
Now I hear the words "if only"
Hangin' in the air
Like an interrupted melody
