Dont take away the music lyrics meaning

Don't take away the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock

I knew you were always there
You were my song
How am I supposed to bear it
Now that you've gone
Would you separate the words
Memories from a sweet melody
Baby would you take away
The music from a symphony

Don't take away the music it's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away the music everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of it's song

Everytime you whispered low

My heart would sing
Now it's silent like the phone
The phone that never rings
Memories of love's refrain
Memories keep haunting me
What are we doing to the song we sang
What happened to our sweet harmony

Don't take away the music it's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away the music everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of it's song

Don't take away the music ooh ooh ooh
Don't take away the music ooh ooh ooh
Don't take away the music ooh ooh ooh

Oh
Since you're not here with me
My whole life seems out of key

Don't take away the music it's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away the music everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of it's song
