The Curtain's Up Songtext

The day that I became sixteen Just passed on by like in a dream My birthday party was the party of the year And the boys were all so gentle and polite They seemed to realize just what it meant to me They all knew it was a very special night The curtain?s up, the world's a stage But no one knows just what they?re playing I act a part, I hear them saying Take a bow now, and start to live The curtain?s up, the world's a stage The play is full of life and laughter Of love to last forever after There is so much for me to give Now sleeping beauty is awake And I don?t have to be afraid To take a look around the garden of love And perhaps I?ll fall for you, just wait and see The very minute I told one boy how I felt All at once they all came running after me The curtain?s up, the world's a stage But no one knows just what they?re playing I act a part, I hear them saying Take a bow now, and start to live The curtain?s up, the world's a stage The play is full of life and laughter Of love to last forever after There is so much for me to give I?ve got my loving to give to you
