When the music starts to play
It makes the troubles go away
It makes my heartache disappear
And I forget he isn't here
I forget about the past
About the dreams that didn't last
Suddenly my heart is gay
My head is spinning like a top
When the music starts to play 
Oh never, never let it stop

He said
he'd call
But he forgot
Though I
Loved him
He loves me not
So what
I will do as they say
Dance my troubles away

I loved
A boy
But he is gone
The joys
That I
Counted upon
He's gone
So I do as they say
Dance my troubles away

When the music starts to play
It makes the troubles go away
Trouble, trouble go away
And never come another day
It makes the heartaches disappear
And I forget he isn't here
The magic in the atmosphere
Makes me forget he isn't here
I forget about the past
About the dreams that didn't last
About the words of love he spoke
About the promises he broke
About the other girl he found
And as I'm dancing round and round
Suddenly my heart is gay
My head is spinning like a top
When the music starts to play
Oh never, never let it stop
