Dusty Springfield - Quiet Please, There's A Lady On Stage - Текст песни

(Carole Bayer-Sager & Peter Allen)

Quiet please, there's a lady on stage 
She may not be the latest rage 
But she's singing and she means it 
And she deserves a little silence 

Quiet please, there's a woman up there 
And she's been honest through her songs 
Long before your consciousness was raised 
Doesn't that deserve a little praise 

So put your hands together and help her along 
All that's left of the singer's 
All that's left of the song 
Stand for the ovation 
And give her one last celebration 

Quiet please, there's a person up there 
And she's been singing of the things 
That none of us could bear to hear for ourselves
Give her your respect if nothing else 

Quiet please, there's a lady on stage 
Conductor, turn the final page 
And when it's over we can all go home 
But she lives on -- on the stage alone.
