| James Ingram & Patti Austin |
| "How Do You Keep The Music Playing?" |
| (Verse 1) |
| How do you keep the music playing |
| How do you make it last |
| How do you keep the song from fading too fast |
| How do you lose yourself to someone |
| And never lose your way |
| How do you not run out of new things to say... |
| (Verse 2) |
| And since we're always changing |
| How can it be the same |
| And tell me how, year after year |
| You're sure your heart will fall apart |
| Each time you hear his name |
| (Chorus) |
| I know the way I feel for you, it's now or never |
| The more I love, the more that I'm afraid |
| That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever... |
| (Verse 3) |
| If we can be the best of lovers |
| Yet be the best of friends |
| If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows |
| With any luck, then I suppose, the music never ends |
| (Chorus) |
| I know the way I feel for you, it's now or never |
| <How do you keep the music playing> |
| The more I love, the more that I'm afraid |
| <How do you make it last> |
| That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever |
| <How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from fading too fast> |
| (Verse 3/Repeat) |
| If we can be the best of lovers |
| Yet be the best of friends |
| If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows |
| With any luck, then I suppose the music never ends |
| How do you keep it playing, baby... |
| Oh... <Oh...> |
| I wanna know..., how do you do it... |
| How...do you keep the music playing...over and over... |
