The Music Played Matt Monro

Гнетёт молчание, где страсть была.
И боль из глаз твоих слезой текла.
Три слова мог сказать, не дать уйти.
Но не успел, увы, звучит мотив.

Мотиву вторит свет скольженьем пар,
И вижу я, что ты
 сейчас покинешь зал.
Остановил твой друг, не дал уйти.
И ты танцуешь с ним, звучит мотив.

Проигрыш...

И в этот вечер вдруг я ясно осознал,
Он ближе был, чем друг, и ждал.
Тебя обидел я из гордости,
А он дождался, чтоб увести

Я не сумел сказать того, что должен был.
Сердечный не хотел растратить пыл.
И вот она цена, что заплатил:
Танцуете, кружась,
Звучит мотив...

А я любимую тут упустил,
Звучит мотив...

Lyrics
An angry silence lay where love had been
And in your eyes a look I'd never seen
If I had found the words you might have stayed
But as I turned to speak, the music played
As lovers danced their way around the floor
I sat and watched you walk towards the door
I heard a friend of yours suggest you stayed
And as you took his hand, the music played
Across the darkened room the fatal signs I saw
You'd been something more than friends before
While I was hurting you by clinging to my pride
He had been waiting and I drove him to your side
I couldn't say the things I should have said
Refused to let my heart control my head
But I was made to see the price I paid
And as he held you close, the music played
And as I lost your love, the music played.
