FATHER:
Where have I been
How did we change
Caught in this strange
New music
Say, was I away too long
MOTHER:
Just like that tune
Simple and clear
I've come to hear
New music
FATHER:
New music
MOTHER:
Why
Why can't you hear the song
YOUNGER BROTHER:
His fingers stroke those keys
And every note says "Please"
And every chord says "Turn my way"
MOTHER, FATHER:
I thought I knew what love was
But these lovers play
MOTHER, FATHER, YOUNGER BROTHER:
New music
Haunting me
And somehow taunting me
My love was never half as true
FATHER:
And I ask myself
Why can't I sing it too
ENSEMBLE:
His fingers stroke those keys
And every note says "Please"
And every chord says "Turn my way"
I thought I knew what love was
But these lovers play
New music
Haunting me
And somehow taunting me
My love was never half as true
COALHOUSE:
Sarah, my life has changed
Sarah, you've got to see
Sarah, we got a son
Sarah, come down to me
SARAH:
You and your music
Singing deep in me
Making nice to me
Saying something so new
COALHOUSE:
New
SARAH:
Changing everything
Meaning everything
COALHOUSE:
Music
SARAH:
Calling my heart to you
COALHOUSE:
All for you, girl
You, Sarah
SARAH:
Play that melody
Your sweet melody
Calling my heart to you
COALHOUSE:
You
ENSEMBLE:
Just like that tune
Simple and clear
I've come to hear
New music
Breaking my heart
Op'ning a door
Changing the world
New music
I'll hear it forevermore
