Stage Lights Dim to Memories

I was out in Colorado when the call came,

I knew I couldn't stay

I was missing you and what I thought could be

But I had to hear you say it

So when you said come on home and that you missed me

I packed up right away

Sunlight fading in my rear-view, east on 70,

I'd be home within the day.

Sometimes pride can cloud my vision

Almost let the best thing slip right past

Some nights are way too long and yet it seems

Somehow the years slip by so fast

As we're loading in these memories

Why not fill them up with laughter while we can

So the best of days are filled with loving you

The worst ain't all that bad

I'll never choose to let this go

Everything must end I know

Since there's no doing this again

I came home and you let me in

To make the world we want to know

When these stage lights dim to memories

And the warm glow of the spotlight fades away

And we're left alone in quiet contemplation

At the closing of the day

When the roar of the applause gives way to quiet

And there's nothing left to say

I know you'll sit with me in silence as I smile

For what we've shared along the way.

I'll never choose to let this go

Everything must end I know

Aaah there's no doing this again

We opened up and love came in

To make the world we want to know

I'll never choose to let this go

Everything must end I know

Aaah there's no doing this again

We opened up and love came in

We made the world we want to know

Since there's no doing this again

I hope you know how much it meant

We made the world we want to know

There's no doing this again

I hope you know how much it meant

We made the world we want to know
