He met her backstage She was suppossed to be just another girl for the night But there was something in her smile That stopped his breath She made everything make sense
After the lights go down And after the screams go dead Her voice still echoes in his head After the lights go down And after the lust and fame His heart still beats to the sound of her name
Sometimes he wakes up Calling out for the one good thing he let go In a lonely hotel room he tries to relive that night And to see her smiling for him
After the lights go down...
Years later he sees her But when he sees her ring His words escape And he doesn't say he still tastes her kiss And she's to scared to say That her childs eyes are his
