The Curtain's Up Songtext / Lyric

The day that I became sixteen
Just passed on by like in a dream
My birthday party was the party of the year
And the boys were all so gentle and polite
They seemed to realize just what it meant to me
They all knew it was a very special night


The curtain’s up, the world's a stage
But no one knows just what they’re playing
I act a part, I hear them saying
Take a bow now, and start to live
The curtain’s up, the world's a stage
The play is full of life and laughter
Of love to last forever after
There is so much for me to give


Now sleeping beauty is awake
And I don’t have to be afraid
To take a look around the garden of love
And perhaps I’ll fall for you, just wait and see
The very minute I told one boy how I felt
All at once they all came running after me


The curtain’s up, the world's a stage
But no one knows just what they’re playing
I act a part, I hear them saying
Take a bow now, and start to live
The curtain’s up, the world's a stage
The play is full of life and laughter
Of love to last forever after
There is so much for me to give


I’ve got my loving to give to you
