I couldn't see beyond the corner to the stage
From my place between the cowboy and the clown
Mommy dressed me up and left me with a kiss
For the talent show now beginning, the curtain coming down
Just enough to hear them say
Oh bravo! You're the best, there is no one else
Oh bravo! Our applause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go, bravo!
One by one they came and left us all amazed
Everyone so elegant, it made me feel so plain
The clown so colorful, the ballerina danced and twirled
And I thought, "Clearly they're all better than my little song!"
And they deserve to hear the praise
Oh bravo! You're the best, there is no one else
Oh bravo! Our applause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go, bravo!
Running off the stage with bitter tears of shame
Close my eyes and try so hard to make it go away
I just want to go home and tell my teddy bear "I failed, I failed"
I turned around the corner just to hear my daddy say
Oh bravo! You're the best, you're my only one
Oh bravo! That will always be enough
Look at me, your song was beautiful, beautiful
And even if nobody ever knows, bravo!
Oh bravo! You're the best, there is no one else
Oh bravo! Our applause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go, bravo!
Oh bravo! You're the best, there is no one else
Oh bravo! Our applause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go, bravo!
Oh bravo! You're the best, there is no one else
Oh bravo! Our applause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go, bravo!
