Don't Let The Music Die - Lyrics - Bay City Rollers

The Bay City Rollers were a Scottish pop band whose popularity was highest in the mid 1970s. The British Hit Singles & Albums noted that they were "tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh", and were "the first of many acts heralded as the 'Biggest Group since The Beatles' and one of the most screamed-at teeny-bopper acts of the 1970s". For a relatively brief but fervent period , they were worldwide teen idols. The group's line-up featured numerous changes over the years, but the classic line-up during its heyday included guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir, and drummer Derek Longmuir.

Yesterday when I was young I played the game and never won Thought rock and roll would bless my soul forever. Songs of love and ecstasy Remind me how it used to be I thought those days would never end But now it seems I need a friend I remember all those days gone by I remember all their faces The old familiar places Don't let the music die, No our song could last forever Don't let the music die, Don't let the music die And though we've said goodbye, We could spend our lives together, So as time goes by Don't let the music die Yesterday, the world was mine I played the clown and Pantomime Or was it just a dream that's gone forever Echoed voices from the past Recall the songs I thought would last And say "Those times will never die" And the love we share's the reason why I remember all those days gone by I remember all their faces, The old familiar places Don't let the music die, No our song could last forever Don't let the music die, Don't let the music die And though we've said goodbye, We could spend our lives together, So as time goes by Don't let the music die When we were young we had our time And we would drink sweet talking wine but now that it's over All the songs sound out of rhyme Don't let the music die, No our song could last forever Don't let the music die, Don't let the music die And though we've said goodbye, We could spend our lives together, So as time goes by Don't let the music die
