Let's Face The Music And Dance
Frank Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and
romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have that chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a different tune - and then...
There may be teardrops to shed
So (But) while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and
romance
(Let's face the music and dance, dance)
(Let's face the music - let's here that music)
Let's face the music and dance
In Let's Face The Music And Dance, Frank Sinatra paints a picture of a fleeting moment of joy and celebration amidst the looming uncertainty and impending doom. The opening line, "there may be trouble ahead," sets the tone for the rest of the song, acknowledging the inevitability of hard times to come. However, the lyrics suggest that in the present moment, there is still beauty to be found in the moonlight, music, love, and romance. Sinatra urges his listeners to "face the music and dance" before the music inevitably stops, and the fiddlers demand payment. He recognizes the fleeting nature of this joy and suggests that soon they will be "humming a different tune," and the sorrow of the coming days will urge them to shed tears.
The lyrics of Let's Face The Music And Dance can be interpreted as a commentary on the fragility of happiness and the importance of enjoying life's small pleasures while they last. With its upbeat melody and catchy chorus, this song encourages listeners to take a break from their worries and enjoy the present moment. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there are still reasons to dance and to love.
