Lyrics
AND THE BAND JUST PLAYED ON
Words by Ron Paul ©2025
Drinks on the table
Names on the label
Glasses for two
And the band just played on
Conversations apart
The taste of sweet wine
Music to dance to
And the band just played on
Welcome to my party
It’s made just for two
No better person to laugh with
It just has to be you
Straight from the bottle
Drawn by the cork
Poured by the waiter without any thought
And the band just played on
Times to remember, times to forget
Times to make love and times when we met
Times for forgiveness, time to make up
Times to make new friends and times of good luck
Welcome to my party
It’s made just for two
No better person to laugh with
It just has to be you
And the band just played on
And the band just played on
And the band just played on
And the band just played on
