The Show Must Go On Lyrics


Shirley Bassey The Show Must Go On

Empty spaces, what are we living for 
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score 
On and on 
Does anybody know what we are looking for? 
Another hero, another mindless crime 
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime 
Hold the line 
Does anybody want to take it anymore? 

The show must go on 
The show must go on 
Inside my heart is breaking 
My make-up may be flaking 
But my smile still stays on 

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance 
Another heartache, another failed romance 
On and on 
Does anybody know what we are living for? 

I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now 
I'll soon be turning, around the corner now 
Outside the dawn is breaking 
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free 

The show must go on 
The show must go on 
Inside my heart is breaking 
My make-up may be flaking 
But my smile still stays on 

Hold the line 
Does anybody want to take it anymore? 

The show must go on 
The show must go on 

I'll top the bill, I'll overkill 
I have to find the will to carry on 
With the show 
The show must go on
