That's When The Music Takes Me
(live version - year 1974 or 1977)
Text/Music: Neil Sedaka
Put your hands together for me now!
That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
When the day' so long that I can't hold on
When I'm down and I think my hope is gone... Oh yeah!
That's when the music takes me
Closer to a brighter day
I can feel my soul exploding
There's a good feeling
Helping me to find my way
When the blue bird sings her sad, sad song
And the wind brings a cold to tag along... Oh yeah!
I can feel the spirit move me
I can almost touch the sky
Reachin' for a new tomorrow
I know it's hard
But music takes me wanna try
That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
(That's when the music takes me)
(That's when the music takes me)
Oh yeah!
That's when the music takes me
Closer to a brighter day
I can feel my soul exploding
There's a good feeling
Helping me to find my way
Ha!
That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
Yes it does...
Happy, happy happy day
Happy, happy happy day
Happy, happy happy day
Oh yeah!!!
Put your hands together for me now!
That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
When the day' so long that I can't hold on
When I'm down and I think my hope is gone... Oh yeah!
That's when the music takes me
Closer to a brighter day
I can feel my soul exploding
There's a good feeling
Helping me to find my way
When the blue bird sings her sad, sad song
And the wind brings a cold to tag along... Oh yeah!
I can feel the spirit move me
I can almost touch the sky
Reachin' for a new tomorrow
I know it's hard
But music takes me wanna try
That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
(That's when the music takes me)
(That's when the music takes me)
Oh yeah!
That's when the music takes me
Closer to a brighter day
I can feel my soul exploding
There's a good feeling
Helping me to find my way

That's when the music takes me
Takes me to a brighter day
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
That's when the music takes me
Helping me to find my way
