New Music Lyrics - Singles - Ragtime Soundtrack

[FATHER] 

Where have I been? 

How did we change, 

Caught in this strange 

New music? 

Say, 

Was I away too long? 

[MOTHER] 

Just like that tune, 

Simple and clear, 

I've come to hear 

New music. 

[FATHER] 

New music. 

Why, 

Why can't you hear the song? 

[YOUNGER BROTHER] 

His fingers stoke those keys, 

And every note says "Please", 

And every chord says "Turn my way." 

[MOTHER, FATHER] 

I thought I knew 

What love was but these lovers play... 

[MOTHER, FATHER, YOUNGER BROTHER] 

New music! 

Haunting me, 

And somehow taunting me- 

My love was never half as true. 

[FATHER] 

And I ask myself, 

Why can't I sing it too? 

[WORKERS, NEIGHBORS] 

His fingers stoke those keys, 

And every note says "Please", 

And every chord says "Turn my way." 

[WORKERS, NEIGHBORS, FAMILY] 

I thought I knew 

What love was 

but these lovers play 

New music! 

[ALL] 

Haunting me, 

And somehow taunting me- 

My love was 

Never half as true. 

[COALHOUSE] 

Sarah, my life has changed. 

Sarah, you've got to see. 

Sarah, we got a son! 

Sarah, come down to me... 

[SARAH] 

You and your music 

Singing deep in me, 

Making nice to me, 

Saying something so new- 

[COALHOUSE] 

New 

[SARAH] 

Changing everything, 

Meaning everything, 

[COALHOUSE] 

Music 

[SARAH] 

Calling my heart to you... 

[COALHOUSE] 

All for you, girl. 

You, Sarah. 

[SARAH] 

Play that melody, 

Your sweet melody, 

Calling my heart to you. 

[COALHOUSE] 

You. 

[ALL (except Coalhouse & Sarah)] 

Just like that tune, 

Simple and clear, 

I've come to hear 

New music- 

Breaking my heart, 

Op'ning a door, 

Changing the world! 

New music! 

I'll 

Hear it forevermore!
