A thousand hands applaud
tonight
I sing my songs my star shines bright
I stop
and smile, I take by bow
I leave the stage and then
somehow
Backstage I'm lonely
Backstage I
cry
You've gone away and each night I seem to die a
little
Out on that stage I play the star/>I'm famous now I've come so far
A famous fool I
let love go
I didn't know I'd miss you so/>
Backstage I'm lonely
Backstage I cry/>Hating myself since I let you say goodbye
Every
night a different girl
Every night a different club/>And yet I'm lonely all the time
When I sign my
autograph
When I hold an interview
Can't get you
out of my mind
Come back my love
Come back to
me
I need you now so desperately
What good is fame
it's just a game
I'd give it all to be the
same
Backstage I wait now hoping I'll see/>Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me
Your
smiling face waiting there backstage for me
Backstage,
Backstage
