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
