Curtain Call

The curtains will close
The lights will go dim
And I’ll change my clothes for the last time, my friend
Gather my roses
Swallow your tears
I may be leaving, but at least I was here
So, goodbye and thank you
It’s my last curtain call
When you hear the applause
Hang my hat on the wall
But I’ll never be far
I’m as close as the wind
So, goodbye and thank you
I’ll see you again
Then, when I walk away
With the dust on my shoes
I’ll hear what you say, so be kind with the news
If things get too loud
And you lose your nerve
Remember, I left you with these words
Goodbye and thank you
It’s my last curtain call
When you hear the applause
Hang my hat on the wall
But I’ll never be far
I’m as close as the wind
So, goodbye and thank you
I’ll see you again
So, I’m closing my eyes
And I’ll picture your face
This beautiful life did not go to waste
Goodbye and thank you
It’s my last curtain call
I can hear the applause
Hang my hat on the wall
Oh, I’ll never be far
I’m as close as the wind
So, goodbye and thank you
I’ll see you again
Oh, goodbye and thank you
I’ll see you again
