Tonight there's a spark in the air The last curtain call With crowd growing restless I take to the stage To the cheers of their great enthrall Under the fervid gaslights The pleasure and pain Reciting line after line from the heart This moment unseen again Oh, it's so long ago, it all feels like yesterday The thrill of the show, this chill never goes away, no The roar of the crowd, the agony and ecstasy That was then, this is now Now it's gone... I'm walking through a moonless night Keep searching for a new spotlight And everyday it takes all my might To make it through to morning light, oh It must be two hundred years on The years lost in time Gets harder with each passing day to recall The day that I died Oh, it's so long ago, it all feels like yesterday The chill, it's like snow, the cold never fades away, no In a heartbeat, a breath, all stolen away from me A man, once with dream, once with life Now it's gone... And we all turned to bow, it was glorious I'd give all I have for one just last encore... Oh, it's so long ago, it all feels like yesterday The thrill of the show, this chill never goes away, no In a heartbeat, a breath, all stolen away from me A man, once with dream, once with life Now it's gone...
