About to Begin
by Robin Trower

If you stand in the light,
You get the feel of the night,
And the music that plays in your ears.
In your head you can hear,
A voice so sweet and clear,
And the music that plays in your head.

As it flows up from the ground,
Taking all who hear that sound,
Close your eyes, it's about to begin.

Hardly daring to breathe,
A new life you perceive,
You try hard not to break the spell.
All at once it seem both,
So far and yet so close,
If you reach out to touch, it will be gone.

As it flows up from the ground,
Taking all who hear that sound,
Close your eyes, it's about to begin.
Close your eyes, it's about to begin.
Close your eyes, it's about to begin.
