When the curtains
Close
And the lights
Go dim
I still hear your
Laughter
Soft and thin
Like a ghost
In the hallway
You linger near
Whisperin' dreams
I used to hear
But I still wait
By the old stage door
Like I did
The nights before
Your name in lights
Has faded slow
But my heart
Won't let you go

The jukebox plays
Our final tune
A slow dance
Under a paper
Moon
Your letters in my drawer
Remain
A trace of love
I can't regain
And I still wait
By the old stage door
Though they don't call
Your name
No more
You bowed and left
But I'm stuck
In the show
And my heart
Won't let you go
They say
The spotlight
Has moved along
But I keep playin'
Our goodbye song
Red velvet
Seats
And broken rows
I'm here each night
When the curtains close
So I still wait
By the old stage door
For just one smile
Like times before
They cleared
The stage
They dimmed
The glow
But my heart
Won't
Let you go
