The Velvet Leap

[Intro]
[Verse]
Velvet curtains hold the dust
In the magic I must trust
The leading lady left the floor
I’m bolting through the stage door
My shaky hands are cold
But my heart is feeling bold
[Pre-Chorus]
Manager gives me a wink
No time left to think
The glitter starts to blink
I’m standing on the brink
[Chorus]
Hear the roar of the crowd
Sing it long and loud
In the bright key of G
Look at me, look at me
The spotlight is mine
Watch how I shine
[Post-Chorus]
It’s my time to glow
On with the show
I’m starting to know
Which way I should go
[Verse]
Ragtime piano starts to play
Chasing all the ghosts away
Trumpets stab the night air
Flowers in my messy hair
Tap shoes click on the stage
I’ve finally turned the page
[Pre-Chorus]
Manager gives me a wink
No time left to think
The glitter starts to blink
I’m standing on the brink
[Chorus]
Hear the roar of the crowd
Sing it long and loud
In the bright key of G
Look at me, look at me
The spotlight is mine
Watch how I shine
[Bridge]
I spent years in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
Now the strings start to swell
I have a story to tell
The greasepaint starts to run
But I’ve only just begun
[Chorus]
Hear the roar of the crowd
Sing it long and loud
In the bright key of G
Look at me, look at me
The spotlight is mine
Watch how I shine
[Post-Chorus]
It’s my time to glow
On with the show
I’m starting to know
Which way I should go
[Outro]
