Ain't The Band Played On

Just before dawn, in the cold light

We came out of the night

Great expectation from the man who ran the show

Will it rain, will it snow?

Will it shine? We don't know

Are there clouds up in the sky?

We sat in the sun, oh

And the bands played on

And the bands played on

And the bands played on

See the people, feel the power

There were sixty thousand there

Just like thunder, the crowds began to roar

Were you there? Did you know?

Did you see all the show?

There was magic in the air

We sat in the sun, oh

And the bands played on

And the bands played on

And the bands played on

See the rainbow, shining brightly

Shooting rockets to the sky

Making music and it rolled on through the night

You could hear on the air

Rock and roll everywhere

We were strangers in the night

We sat in the sun, oh

And the bands played on

And the bands played on

And the bands played on

And the bands played on

And the bands played on
