La Música

I take one last look in the mirror
And get ready to head out to the show
To some lights that will make my shadow grow
To some applause that will echo my name

There will be smiles on the faces I can see
And among them, I search for yours, so dear
But you’re not there like you used to be
I close my eyes and the theater’s empty

The music, my embrace is with the music
I give myself to the passion in the music
A burning tear runs down my face
My reward is the applause from this place

The music, my embrace is with the music
I play my part and make the music

I’ll return to the solitude of my dressing room
You won’t be there to kiss me and say
That you felt my love in every note
And among the flowers, your red roses will be gone

The music, my embrace is with the music
I give myself to the passion in the music
A burning tear runs down my face
My reward is the applause from this place
