Lyrics The Show Goes On - Bruce Hornsby

Thank you very much
Oh, thank you very much
This is a request from the gallery back here

What's the long face
What's all the crying for
Oh, didn't you expect it?
Since you opened your door
To the man with the long coat
And the long list of victims
Everybody watching knows
He's the one keeping the score

Where she sits
Everyone watched as in judgment
Everybody watching as the curtain falls down
Ooh, see, the lights do a long, slow fade

Well, the show goes on
And sad-eyed sisters go walking on, on
Everyone watching all along
Well, the show goes on
As the autumn's a-coming, and the summer's all gone
Still, without you, well, show goes on, mmm
Mmmm

Some say, "She's alright"
Some say, "She'll never learn"
Well, some rush into things
Some stand and wait their turn
I've been here all along
And I've been standing here all this time
But you never, never noticed
That the same tired flames burn

From where she sits
Everyone stands in judgment
Everybody watching as curtain falls down
Ooh, see, the lights do a long, slow fade

Hey, the show goes on
The sad-eyed sisters go walking on, on
Everyone watching all along
While, the show goes on
As the autumn's a-coming, and the summer's all gone
Still, without you, well, the show goes on, mm
Show goes on, mmm

As the time is passing
Slowly passing by
Better try, try to find it
Before it passes you by
As I watch you walking to, to another cold dawn
And you keep on a-walking
And they keep on talking about you
They talking all along, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, aaah

Where she sits
Everyone stands stands in judgment
Everybody watching as the curtain falls down, hey
Ooh, see, the lights do a long, slow fade, hey

The show goes on
The sad-eyed sisters go walking on, on
Everyone watching all along
Hey, the show goes on
Yes, as the autumn's a-coming, and the summer's all gone
Yes, still without you, the show goes on

Yes, and summer's all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
Yes, and the summer's all gone
Still without you, well, the show goes on

The show goes on
Show goes on
The-, oh, hey, hey, hey
Said, the show goes on, hey
The show goes on, hey, yeah
The show goes on, yes
The show goes on, goes on, yeah
The show goes on, and on
Hey, let's do this one more time, hit me one more time
Can you feel it?
Can you sing it one more time? Hit me one more time
The show goes on
The show-, hit me again
La, la, la-la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la, la
La, la, la-la, la-la, la
The show goes on
Yes, the show goes on
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
