The Show
(Ingrid Elizabeth)
Originally recorded on Now Take Flight


I do believe I dreamed you - Baby, did you dream me too?
My lucky star in the red velvet sky, my birthday candle come true
With your sultry back-pocket eyes and your wild wild hair
With your wide open words, I just can’t help but stare

Suddenly…Your face is my center of gravity

CHORUS:
I would have given anything
To be that wedding ring
Dancing across those six strings
But I was just a girl in the second row
You think by now I’d know
That the show, it must go on
The show must go on



I followed you from Oakland to Boulder to Boston, Memphis Tennessee
From that sea of pretty petalled faces, you picked me
And every night, you held me tight in the safety of the wings
Pressed your finger to my lips, 'cause this was not my song to sing

[CHORUS]

(Everybody is somebody’s secret sometimes)
Star Light, Star Bright
Please let me be
The face that you see
When you close your eyes tonight

Yeah right…

[CHORUS]

Everybody is somebody’s secret sometimes
And this time, oh this time
You’re mine
