Lyrics:

Sue Peters (c) 2020

And the band played on
Even though the joy was gone
They formed each note
They played in key
And they sang in harmony
And the band played on 

And the band played on
And when each show was done
They took their bows
They smiled and waved
Then went their separate ways
And the band played on 

Brothers, sisters, lovers, and friends
They shared a dream that came true
Betrayal, jealousy, ego, and greed
Tore them apart at the seams
Still the band played on 

And the band played on
Until one by one they were gone
The grudges lived on
No one would bend 
Still bitter to the end 

And the songs play on
Even though it all went wrong
They bring us joy, and sweet memories
Of when we were full of dreams 
And the songs play on 

They bring us joy 
And sweet memories
