LET the BAND PLAY

[Intro] Oh, my heart cries for her every day, Through the wear and tear, she lights my way. Mother, wife, friend, my lover true, This song’s for her, for all she does. [Verse 1] She does more than she oughtta, never complains, Carries my burdens through joy and through pain. I dream of the days—bikes, hikes, and spins, Dancing in the dark, where our love begins. [Pre-Chorus] Lord, I ain’t a church-goin’ man, I confess, But I’m prayin’ for her, for hope and for rest. Her heart loves to dance, but my legs cannot stand, So I’m beggin’ you now, hear this soul’s cryin’ hand. [Chorus] Slow dance in my arms, feel her hair on my face, A gift from Your hands, I pray by Your grace. Whisper in her ear, all the charms of my heart, Love through the years, never torn apart. She stands by me, still today, Oh Lord, please, let the band play! [Verse 2] We sit on the sidelines at weddings we see, Her heart longs to dance, but it’s just half of me. I’d give her the world, a night to feel free, With music and angels, her soul next to me. [Pre-Chorus] Lord, I know things happen for reasons, it’s true, But I’m askin’ for hope, for a moment or two. A cloud of soft music to lift her above, To show her my heart, my unending love. [Chorus] Slow dance in my arms, feel her hair on my face, A gift from Your hands, I pray by Your grace. Whisper in her ear, all the charms of my heart, Love through the years, never torn apart. She stands by me, still today, Oh Lord, please, let the band play! [Bridge] Oh, how she’d smile if I could lead her once more, Spin, turn, and glide ‘cross that magical floor. Not a cure, just a night to steal one sweet kiss, To show her the love that my heart’s longed to give. [Chorus] Slow dance in my arms, feel her hair on my face, A gift from Your hands, I pray by Your grace. Whisper in her ear, all the charms of my heart, Love through the years, never torn apart. She stands by me, still today, Oh Lord, please, let the band play! [Outro] For her, Lord, I pray, through our tears, through the years, She’s my life, my love, my answered prayers. Let the music rise, lift her high, make her sway, For my wife, my heart, let that band play.
