Lyrics Was ich dir sagen will / The Music Played - Udo Jürgens

An angry silence lay where love had been
And in our eyes a look I'd never seen
If I had found a word you might've stayed
But as I turn to speak, the music played
Was ich dir sagen will, fällt mir so schwer
Das Blatt Papier vor mir bleibt weiß und leer
Ich find' die Worte nicht, doch glaube mir
Was ich ihr sagen will, sagt mein Klavier
Across the crowded room the fatal signs I saw
They'd been something more than friends before
While I was hurting her by clinging to my pride
He had been waiting and I drove her to his side (Ohh)
I couldn't say the things I should have said (Oh, no no no)
Refused to let my heart control my head (Ohh)
But I was made to see the price I paid
And as I lost her love, the music played
Oh, yes, it played
But I was made to see the price I paid
And as I lost her love, the music played
