[Intro:]
Why has the music stopped?
Where did all the happy people go?
I know they were there, songs everywhere
Only a moment ago.
I only blinked my eye; and now the world that I used to know
Is changing' on me; why can't it be
Only a moment ago?

[Chorus:]
Only a moment ago (only a moment ago)
It was spring and I was singin'
Only a moment ago
I could see where the road would lead
And what tomorrow was bringin'

Hey, mister dream-come-true, why did you go and walk out the door
It all went so fast; why couldn't it last
Only a moment more?

[Chorus:]

Why has the music stopped? (ahh....)
Where did all the happy people go?
I know they were there (know they were there)
Songs everywhere (songs everywhere)
Only a moment ago
Why has the music stopped?
