Average White Band - When They Bring Down The Curtain lyrics

Ball-Gorrie 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 But I can't let this feeling take over I've got to go out and play my part No one else realises I'm doing it all with an aching heart 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 All my words just echo back at me Still I go through the motions Tell a joke, pull a funny face No one else has a notion I've lost someting that I can't replace tonight 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.
