lyrics

The lights were all green on opening night -
I got you there in no time at all
Minutes to spare before curtain call

In my dream, there's a hole in my pocket
I lost my ticket - I think the wind took it…
But it was just a dream

The flowers from the crowd hoped you’d break a leg -
How could they see you’d fall off the stage?
Twist on your knee after only one page

In my dream, no standing ovations
Just empty spaces of my own creation
But it was just a dream…

Darling you put on a wonderful show
And it's all for me, yeah it's all for me
Or that's how it seems, here in the cheap seats

In my dream the script is unfinished
La la la la la, la la la la la…
I hope it's just a dream…

Not sure I'll make it to the aftershow
But I'll pick you up later when you want to go
Saw Marilyn and Batman arrive arm in arm
Looks like it'll be star-studded fun
