Once more it has happened,
Music stopped me,
Stopped me in my life.
The tune started and I waited,
Waited for the choir to burst forth,
Burst forth with those words,
“ZADOK THE PRIEST!”
It wasn’t just the music that stopped me,
It brought back a precious memory,
A memory of my lover now departed
As she burst out with this song.
I could see her once more
Standing in the choir singing this song
With pride, passion and joy.
Music was her life,
As it is with me,
And once more we were together
As Zadok the Priest sailed us into the ether.
