Gene Pitney Backstage Lyrics

Backstage Lyrics

A thousand hands applaud tonight 
I sing my songs my star shines bright 
I stop and smile, I take by bow 
I leave the stage and then somehow 
 
Backstage I`m lonely 
Backstage I cry 
You`ve gone away and each night I seem to die a little 
 
Out on that stage I play the star 
I`m famous now I`ve come so far 
A famous fool I let love go 
I didn`t know I`d miss you so 
 
Backstage I`m lonely 
Backstage I cry 
Hating myself since I let you say goodbye 
 
Every night a different girl 
Every night a different club 
And yet I`m lonely all the time 
When I sign my autograph 
When I hold an interview 
Can`t get you out of my mind 
 
 
Come back my love 
Come back to me 
I need you now so desperately 
What good is fame it`s just a game 
I`d give it all to be the same 
 
Backstage I wait now hoping I`ll see 
Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me 
Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me 
Backstage, Backstage
