'Til The Music Stops

When he came it couldn't have rained on a drier spot And when he left, it took everything I've got Just to get back up and do what needed done But I had no choice because I love my son And I've taught my eyes to see each streetlight as a star To ignore each chance that's lost with every passing car I know I've been left behind But the rhythm's powerful; gonna keep on dancing 'til the music stops And the dark is colorful; there's a rainbow floating on the face of every tear that drops And my baby's beautiful; I'll do anything to keep a roof over that boy's head A pillow on his bed I've got a couple degrees, but they don't seem to sell I've got a thousand stories, but I've got no one to tell And they'll say there's no one but myself to blame But I'm not so dumb I can't tell a rigged game To my son, the whole world is right here in my lap But to the world, we don't even rate a tiny blip upon the map And I know we've been left behind The rhythm's powerful The dark is colorful My baby's beautiful Yes the rhythm's powerful; gonna keep on dancing 'til the music stops And the dark is colorful; there's a rainbow floating on the face of every tear that drops And my baby's beautiful; I'll do anything to keep a roof over that boy's head The rhythm's powerful The dark is colorful My baby's beautiful He's beautiful Ah he's beautiful
