The Band Is Playing Too Slow - Chris Knight

It’s the same old song every night

The melody is made out of memories

The words you and I used to write

I paid the band when you left me

Expecting them to pack it in

But heartaches’s a stubborn musician

And it’s playing a waltz that won’t end

And I can’t help but remember you

Morning high midnight low

I don’t want to dance with your memory

But somehow I can’t let you go

The band is playing too slow

Now I’ve got to find a new partner

And get on with my life

But these dreams of moonlight dances with you are still sweet

If a little off time

And I can’t help but remember you

Morning high midnight low

I don’t want to dance with your memory

But somehow I can’t let you go

The band is playing too slow
