Curtains movie - I Miss the Music lyrics

Cioffi (spoken):<br>
You see what I'm saying? The song itself is kind of lackluster. It lacks ..<br>
<br>
Chris: <br>
Yes?<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
Luster.<br>
<br>
Chris:<br>
I agree. We need a completely new composition, one that's catchier than pink eye. I'll leave you to it.<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
Well, at least now you'll have a few minutes alone with your piano. <br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
Alone, yeah.<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
Could I ask, only because I've wondered this my entire life--which would normally come first, the music or the lyric?<br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
Same answer as the chicken or the egg.<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
Ah, so it's the lyric.<br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
No. It can start with a note. Which can become a phrase. And then you try hanging words off each branch, like trimming a<br>
tree.<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
Sounds easy enough.<br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
Really? Well don't talk about love<br>
Or you'll have to say "fits like a glove"<br>
Or "As certain as push comes to shove"<br>
You will pine for the woman you're constantly thinking of<br>
You see the problem.<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
Dangling participle. So you suggest staying away from love?<br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
At all costs. And don't mention your life<br>
Or you'll have to say "cuts like a knife"<br>
Or refer to the heartbreak and strife<br>
When you find that you're missing your ...<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
Missing?<br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
What?<br>
<br>
Cioffi:<br>
You were saying what you miss.<br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
No I meant that, well ...<br>
(sung)I miss the music<br>
I miss the song<br>
Since she’s not with me <br>
It comes out wrong<br>
It doesn’t matter <br>
How hard I try<br>
I’ve lost the music<br>
I don’t know why<br>
You may have known<br>
Before I met her<br>
I wrote alone<br>
But if you ask me <br>
What I prefer<br>
I’d say the music <br>
I wrote with her<br>
When you’re writing a song<br>
And you’ve a partner<br>
The room is filled with jokes and chatter<br>
She says something<br>
You say something<br>
She writes a line <br>
You play a vamp<br>
But when you’re writing a song<br>
Without a partner<br>
That’s a completely different matter<br>
No one tells you “That’s not funny”<br>
No one says “Let’s cut that bar”<br>
No one makes you better than you are<br>
I can’t pretend <br>
I miss the music<br>
I miss my friend<br>
No need to ask me<br>
What I prefer<br>
I choose the music<br>
I wrote with her<br>
I liked the music<br>
I made with …<br>
<br>
Georgia (spoken):<br>
Aaron, I forgot my lyric. Can you believe it? Me.<br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
Well you’re not the lyricist now, you’re the star.<br>
Georgia? Break a leg.<br>
<br>
Georgia:<br>
Thanks. You can finish the song without me?<br>
<br>
Aaron:<br>
I’m a one-man band.<br>
(sung)<br>
I miss the music<br>
I miss my friend<br>
No need to ask me <br>
What I prefer<br>
I choose the music<br>
I wrote with her<br>
I loved the music<br>
I made with her<br>
<br>
