a bit of nostalgia and appreciation for all those who fill our lives with art and entertainment. a song is more than a song after all. : )

the lights go down
as the last show comes to a close
 
the singer plays
one last song that we all know

and the old man
on the stage takes his bow and goes

the lights come up
the saddest clown i ever saw

makes us laugh
and mends our broken hearts

he paints a smile
on our face as he waves good by

the company
takes one last bow, the play

comes to an end
the lights are turned down low

we rise to our feet
and give it up for this magic show

the lights go down
as the last show comes to a close

the singer plays
one last song that we all know

and old the man
on the stage takes his bow and... goes
