[00:16.483]A thousand hands applaud tonight
[00:21.205]I sing my songs my star shines bright
[00:25.330]I stop and smile I take my bow
[00:30.089]I leave the stage and then somehow
[00:33.939]Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry
[00:40.163]You've gone away and each night I seem to die a little
[00:44.100]Out on that stage I play the star
[00:48.778]I'm famous now I've come so far
[00:53.467]A famous fool I let love go
[00:57.980]I didn't know I'd miss you so
[01:01.762]Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry
[01:06.776]Hating myself since I let you say goodbye
[01:16.035]
[01:20.431]Every night a different room
[01:22.782]Every night a different club
[01:25.303]And yet I'm lonely all the time
[01:29.414]When I sign my autograph
[01:32.078]When I hold an interview
[01:34.238]Can't get you out of my mind
[01:38.852]Come back my love come back to me
[01:43.399]I need you now so desperately
[01:47.908]What good is fame it's just a game
[01:52.206]I'd give it all to be the same
[01:55.962]Backstage I wait now, hoping I'll see
[02:01.460]Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me
[02:09.887]Your smiling face waiting backstage for me
[02:19.147]Backstage
[02:23.438]Backstage
[02:32.914]
