Music makes my day
It warms an empty place when you’re away
Music makes my day
Love you are my song
Your melody’s so soft
Your love so strong
Love you are my song

And though good fortune seems a long time calling
The sadness creeps into my song
My pearly friend will gently soothe me
And sing along

Music makes my day
It seems my waiting hours just fly away
Music makes my day
If I lost my friend
His loving words no more
My song would end
If I lost my friend

And though good fortune seems a long time calling
The sadness creeps into my song
My pearly friend will gently soothe me
And sing along

Music makes my day
It warms an empty place when you’re away
Music makes my day
You know it makes it
