(Carole Bayer-Sager & Peter Allen)
|
|
Quiet please, there's a lady on stage
|
She may not be the latest rage
|
But she's singing and she means it
|
And she deserves a little silence
|
|
Quiet please, there's a woman up there
|
And she's been honest through her songs
|
Long before your consciousness was raised
|
Doesn't that deserve a little praise
|
|
So put your hands together and help her along
|
All that's left of the singer's
|
All that's left of the song
|
Stand for the ovation
|
And give her one last celebration
|
|
Quiet please, there's a person up there
|
And she's been singing of the things
|
That none of us could bear to hear for ourselves
|
Give her your respect if nothing else
|
|
Quiet please, there's a lady on stage
|
Conductor, turn the final page
|
And when it's over we can all go home
|
But she lives on -- on the stage alone.
