Ragtime movie - New Music lyrics
rate me<br>
[FATHER]<br>
Where have I been?<br>
How did we change,<br>
Caught in this strange<br>
New music?<br>
Say,<br>
Was I away too long?<br>
<br>
[MOTHER]<br>
Just like that tune,<br>
Simple and clear,<br>
I've come to hear<br>
New music.<br>
<br>
[FATHER]<br>
New music.<br>
<br>
Why,<br>
Why can't you hear the song?<br>
<br>
[YOUNGER BROTHER]<br>
His fingers stoke those keys,<br>
And every note says "Please",<br>
And every chord says "Turn my way."<br>
<br>
[MOTHER, FATHER]<br>
I thought I knew<br>
What love was but these lovers play...<br>
<br>
[MOTHER, FATHER, YOUNGER BROTHER]<br>
New music!<br>
Haunting me, <br>
And somehow taunting me-<br>
My love was never half as true.<br>
<br>
[FATHER]<br>
And I as myself, <br>
Why can't I sing it too?<br>
<br>
[WORKERS, NEIGHBORS]<br>
His fingers stoke those keys,<br>
And every note says "Please",<br>
And every chord says "Turn my way."<br>
<br>
[WORKERS, NEIGHBORS, FAMILY]<br>
I thought I knew<br>
What love was <br>
but these lovers play<br>
New music!<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Haunting me, <br>
And somehow taunting me-<br>
My love was <br>
Never half as true.<br>
<br>
[COALHOUSE]<br>
Sarah, my life has changed.<br>
Sarah, you've got to see.<br>
Sarah, we got a son!<br>
Sarah, come down to me...<br>
<br>
[SARAH]<br>
You and your music<br>
Singing deep in me, <br>
Making nice to me, <br>
Saying something so new-<br>
<br>
[COALHOUSE]<br>
New<br>
<br>
[SARAH]<br>
Changing everything,<br>
Meaning everything,<br>
<br>
[COALHOUSE]<br>
Music<br>
<br>
[SARAH]<br>
Calling my heart to you... <br>
<br>
[COALHOUSE]<br>
All for you, girl.<br>
You, Sarah.<br>
<br>
[SARAH]<br>
Play that melody,<br>
Your sweet melody, <br>
Calling my heart to you.<br>
<br>
[COALHOUSE]<br>
You.<br>
<br>
[ALL (except Coalhouse & Sarah)]<br>
Just like that tune,<br>
Simple and clear,<br>
I've come to hear<br>
New music-<br>
Breaking my heart,<br>
Op'ning a door,<br>
Chamging the world!<br>
New music!<br>
I'll <br>
Hear it forevermore!<br>
<br>
