The Final Curtain
(Version 2005)

(Rene Frank)

 

Strophe 1 :

The curtain is open, an orchestra plays a nice song.

The audience listens, a bright spotlight leads through the show.

What kind of theater is this and where do we have to go ?

Different scenes are shown here, but why canīt I enjoy each part ?

Strophe 2 :

So many lovely and funny things happen on stage.

Acknowledgement, love and success are part of the play.

Oh, I remember each moment, again itīs so far away.

Why canīt I recall all the memories which show me the sense of life ?

Refrain :

But when at last the final curtain falls,

you leave the stage, the great director calls.

But when at last the final curtain falls,

is there applause for this at all ??

Strophe 3 :

Sad and down-hearted I stand at the edge.

The actors behind and me face to face with the guests.

Expecting a little step forward to finish the game of life.

Someone has to perform the looser-role, why not me ?

Refrain :

But when at last the final curtain falls,

you leave the stage, the great director calls.

But when at last the final curtain falls,

is there applause for this at all ??

Bridge :

I turn around to leave the rim of the stage.

Run into the spotlight and break out of this cage.

Solo

Refrain 2x :

But when at last the final curtain falls,

you leave the stage, the great director calls.

But when at last the final curtain falls,

is there applause for this at all ??

 

But when at last the final curtain falls,

you leave the stage, the great director calls.

But when at last the final curtain falls,

is there applause for this at all ??
