The Big Show by Mark Gabriesheski Lyrics

The opening curtain immense,
The rush of the heart,
Bright lights intense
Just beginning to start.

The actors begin
To memorize lines,
Behind the curtain
Personalities realized.

Sweating of the palms,
Trembling in the knees,
The tension never calmed,
All scared to retreat.

The show must go on,
Life does not wait,
The actors must perform
Or forever regret their mistake.

The performance begins
With hearts aflutter,
Forgetting all sins and
Beginning to stutter.
Words are spoken,
Conversation ensues and
Pay no attention
To the critics reviews.

No one knows,
Like the actors do,
They know not the trust
Each has to prove.

The players mind not
For they are entranced,
All this time they have fought
To create this romance.

The show never closes
Actors sustain
Past shows forgotten
Only one show remains.

This performance, flawless,
And everyone stares
For in marriage they are bound
And the stage is theirs.
