(The) MUSIC TAKES ME BACK

Time signature:
Mark Hiscock
An Accordion Tune To Learn "BY EAR"
Lyrics: 
The night time always finds me sitting in this chair
Looking down my memories and breathing smokey air
When I play the juke box it happens every time
My old past comes running back when I drop in my dime.

Chorus:     For the music takes me back to your arms
                  I can almost feel your hand in mine
                  Just an old song that we used to dance to
                  Brings yesterday and you to my mind.

It's funny how a memory you once thought was gone
Comes running back so clearly with the playing of a song
Two long years has passed us by and we're miles and miles away
But I never missed you more when the music starts to play.

You'd think I'd learned my lesson and stay away from here
Stop holding onto memories and drinking all this beer
But I'd love to have you with me and I know it's just a way
So step aside while I drop my dime and let the music play.
