Lyrics

Pardon me, but I just got the news
He told me it's over, and it breaks my heart to lose
But the show must go on
The show must go on, they tell me
Here I stand
There's my cue to begin
But who feels like singing in the mood that I'm in?
Still, the show must go on
The show must go on
And I'll carry on somehow
Though the setting's perfect, and the music is right
I can see it's gonna be a tough show tonight
I'll sing about the heartaches, how broken love can be
But they mustn't know it just happened to me
So, dim the lights, and I'll turn on my charms
I'll try to imagine that he's still in my arms
'Cause the show must go on
The show must go on
The show must go on
Tonight
Written by: Al Frisch, Roy Alfred
