05 Jan 00 - 06:47 PM (#158600) Subject: Lyr Add: PASS THE MUSIC ON (Si Kahn & Tom Chapin) From: bbc Per request from Big RiB-- PASS THE MUSIC ON (Si Kahn & Tom Chapin) As recorded by Tom Chapin on "So Nice to Come Home" (1994) I did not learn this music at my grandma's knee, But from some old musicians I never got to see. I know them by their records, their voices and their songs And I'm blessed to be with you tonight to pass the music on. CHORUS: For the good times and the high times, through the suffering and pain; It's the song of generations singing in my veins. I still hear that old-time music of good friends now long gone. I am here tonight to pass the music on. You know I'm not traditional and I've never claimed to be. But I come from a tradition that others made for me. They're still alive inside my heart although they're now long gone, I like to think they trusted me to pass the music on. CHORUS And most of the songs I've got tonight I must admit I wrote, Others I've learned heart to heart instead of note by note. And now as I grow older and new folk come along I'll help you out the best I can To pass the music on. CHORUS I've sung these songs with some old friends I never will forget. And I've sung 'em with an audience of folks I've hardly met. So here we are together to celebrate the song, We'll sing and play our part tonight to pass the music on. CHORUS I am here tonight to pass the music on. We are here tonight to pass the music on. bbc |
