Music Food and Love Play On

The music of the clanging from the chilled glass of wine,                                                    is best in the evening time.                                                                                                It may be the start of a romantic or home cooked meal,                                                    but please no eel.                                                                                                              The candles are singing a song that is lit,                                                                            oh no the salad has a olive pit.                                                                                          A loving smile and words we exchange,                                                                             as we take a bite of chicken that is free range.                                                                    The dessert is so sweet it must be,                                                                                    made from the beautiful honey bee?                                                                                  Now in the background we hear song after song,                                                              a wonderful beat that is never wrong.                                                                                Music is the food that touches our soul,                                                                              even if it can't be put in a bowl.                                                                                          Lets' stay up and love until dawn,                                                                                       "If music be the food of love, play on,"
