When They Bring Down the Curtain

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
