Patti Austin in duet with James Ingram Lyrics
"How Do You Keep The Music Playing?"

How do you keep the music playing
How do you make it last
How do you keep the songs from fading too fast

How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way
How do you not run out of nothing to say

And since we know we're always changing
How can it be the same

And tell me how year after year
You show your heart to fall apart
Each time you hear his name

I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any look then I supposed
The music never ends

I know
(how do you keep the music playing)
The way I feel for you is now or never
(how do you make it last)
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
(how do you keep the song from fading)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
(keep the song from fading too fast)

If we can be the best of lover
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better
As it grows
With any look then I supposed
The music never ends

How do you keep it playing baby?
I wanna know, how do you do it?
How?
