lirik lagu john kander - i miss the music
cioffi (spoken):
you see what i’m saying? the song itself is kind of
lackl-ster. it lacks ..
chris:
yes?
cioffi:
l-ster.
chris:
i agree. we need a completely new composition,
one that’s catchier than pink eye. i’ll leave you to
it.
cioffi:
well, at least now you’ll have a few minutes alone with
your piano.
aaron:
alone, yeah.
cioffi:
could i ask, only because
i’ve wondered this my entire life–which would normally
come first,
the music or the lyric?
aaron:
same answer as the chicken or the egg.
cioffi:
ah, so it’s the lyric.
aaron:
no. it can start with a note.
which can become a phrase.
and then you try hanging words off each branch, like
tr-mm-ng a tree.
cioffi:
sounds easy enough.
aaron:
really? well don’t talk about love
or you’ll have to say “fits like a glove”
or “as certain as push comes to shove”
you will pine for the woman you’re constantly thinking
of
you see the problem.
cioffi:
dangling participle. so you suggest staying away from
love?
aaron:
at all costs. and don’t mention your life
or you’ll have to say “cuts like a knife”
or refer to the heartbreak and strife
when you find that you’re missing your …
cioffi:
missing?
aaron:
what?
cioffi:
you were saying what you miss.
aaron:
no i meant that, well …
(sung)i miss the music
i miss the song
since she’s not with me
it comes out wrong
it doesn’t matter
how hard i try
i’ve lost the music
i don’t know why
you may have known
before i met her
i wrote alone
but if you ask me
what i prefer
i’d say the music
i wrote with her
when you’re writing a song
and you’ve a partner
the room is filled with jokes and chatter
she says something
you say something
she writes a line
you play a vamp
but when you’re writing a song
without a partner
that’s a completely different matter
no one tells you “that’s not funny”
no one says “let’s cut that bar”
no one makes you better than you are
i can’t pretend
i miss the music
i miss my friend
no need to ask me
what i prefer
i choose the music
i wrote with her
i liked the music
i made with …
georgia (spoken):
aaron, i forgot my lyric. can you believe it? me.
aaron:
well you’re not the lyricist now, you’re the star.
georgia? break a leg.
georgia:
thanks. you can finish the song without me?
aaron:
i’m a one-man band.
(sung)
i miss the music
i miss my friend
no need to ask me
what i prefer
i choose the music
i wrote with her
i loved the music
i made with her
