Promises of Eternity

What if the show didn't go on?

What if we all got jobs and got to bed before dawn?

What if old

Joe had to retire?

What if all the stage hands were let go or fired?

That's just like what the world would be

If you fell out of love with me

I can't let this happen to you

Don't you let it happen to me

What would our friends and family say?

If they could only see

If you let this happen to us

Don't think you'd be setting me free

Wasn't it you and

IWho made promises of eternity?

What if the lights didn't go on?

What if the velvet curtain had to be taken down?

What if the clowns couldn't be clowns?

And all those painted smiles gave in to plaintive frowns

What if no show ever happened again?

No seven, no eight and a half, no nine and no ten

All numbers and no mystery

No promise of eternity

I can't let this happen to you

Don't you let it happen to me

What would our friends and family say?

If they could only see

If you let this happen to us

Don't think you'd be setting me free

Wasn't it you and

IWho made promises of eternity?

I can't let this happen to you

Don't you let it happen to me

What would our friends and family say

If they could only see

If you let this happen to us

Don't think you'd be setting me free

Wasn't it you and

I who made

Wasn't it you and

IWho made promises of eternity?
