The Show Must Go On

(album: Shenandoah - 1987)

I think too much of her
To tell her I don't love her anymore
I know it'll break her heart and she'll fall apart
When I walk out the door
Maybe I can tell her all about the many times
I've done her wrong when I'm gone
But till I get up the nerve to end this act I play
The show must go on

I've learned my lines so clever
She thinks that I would never walk away
My love ain't what it seems
But she's always believed in me anyway
I know the stage is set to tell her
That I've been a little too far gone way too long
But till I can bring myself to play the final scene
The show must go on

At night when we pull the curtains
And when I hold her tight
I'm just loving her in body
I'm not loving her in mind

She's been right here with me
Since the beginning of it all
But there'll be no happy ending
So tonight the show must go on
Till I can stop pretending nothing's wrong
The show must go on
