    END OF THE SHOW Words & Music by David Barker V1 Is it the end of the show, then exit stage left I will go Take my last bow, get by somehow, find a new face in the crowd Foot lights are fading to blue, one showdown left to review You think I’m the cause, please hold your applause Till after the end of the show V2 Scene one it's all about you, then blame it all on me scene two But I think not, scene three you’ve got some place that you’d rather be No standing ovations at all, This is your last curtain call You better be sure, it’s now or never Is it the end of the show Bridge Our script reads like the extra is me By your performance best actor is you Chorus No standing ovations at all, This is your last curtain call You better be sure, it’s now or never Is it the end of the show You better be sure, it’s now or never Is it the end of the show.... You better be sure, it’s now or never Is it the end of the show.... Is it the end of the show....

Higher ground......... Higher ground......... Higher ground......... Copyright c 2025 - Uncle Carl's Music - BMI - All Rights Reserved 775-240-7191 - starlinkstar@yahoo.com
