Irish Selection 1984:
Robert Strong - "The Show Is Over"

The Show Is Over

Now, the final curtain
The cheering crowds all head for home
The stage is empty, I feel forgotten
All alone

Someone turns a key
Switches off the light
The echoes of the footsteps
Retreat into the night
Shadows on the empty rows
The show is over

We had some good times
We said goodbye to everyone
We made some memories
Let's have a drink, a little fun

Now, we've found our way back to the start
Wait in the wings and find another part
And now, it's time to go
The show is over

The show is over
Everyone is going home
Catching planes and making plans
To keep in touch
To call alright
Parting friends on a rainswept night

Ooo… yeah, yeah, yeah…

The early morning sunrise
Circles on a new scene
As I wake and look around
And wonder where I've been
And now, it's time to go
The show is over

No more dancing in the spotlight
The show is over
It's аll over
Ooo… the show is over
Everyone is going home
Everyone is going home
The show iѕ over
