[Verse 1] These are days I don't see
The sun is shining but not for me
I worry about how time keeps flying
Oh, I'm scared of the past and I'm scared of dying

[Chorus] Oh, I need to hear that sound
Of the music all around
Just like the needle touching down
Song don't fail me now

[Verse 2] There's just something about a melody
But it brings you back right and it sets you free
It can make you feel forever young
Keep an old heart hard believing in love

[Chorus] And when it all goes wrong
Close your eyes and sing along
'Til you're up where you belong
Singing, "Song don't fail me now"
Mmm

[Bridge] Doesn't matter what you sing
Just feel the joy that it brings
Oh-oh-oh
Song don't fail me no
I'm counting on you
To pull me through
There's nothing left to do

[Outro] La-la-la-la-la (Yeah)
La-la-la-la (Mmm)
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la (Mmm)
La-la-la-la (Hey, I'm counting on you)
La-la-la-la-la (Oh)
La-la-la-la (Ooh)
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Oh-oh
Song don't fail me now
Hey, hey
Ooh
Mmm
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
