When they bring down the curtain
Everybody's gonna think it's over
In the back of my mind I know
It's only the start of the show
When they bring down the curtain
That's when my troubles begin
When it gets to you, girl
That's the hardest part to win
Sitting here in my room backstage
With only my thoughts to keep me company
Read the script again from an empty page
Still I see your face in front of me, yes I do
But I can't let this feeling take over (can't let this feeling take over)
I've got to go out and play my part
No one else realises (no one else realises)
I'm doing it all with an aching heart tonight (tonight)
The houselights dim and the show has begun
All the lines seem to flow so easily
People laugh but I can't join the fun
'Cause you see that's the thing
All of my words just echo back at me
Still I go through the motions (still I go through the motions)
Tell a joke, pull a funny face
No one else has a notion (no one else has a notion)
I've lost someting I can't replace tonight (tonight)
When they bring down the curtain (when they bring down the curtain)
Everybody's gonna think it's over (oh)
In the back of my mind I know
It's only the start of the show
When they bring down the curtain (oh baby)
That's when my troubles begin
When it comes to you, girl (when it's you, yeah)
Thats the hardest part to win
Talk about it
