To Sing Again
by
C. E. Chandler
We are two of a kind,
and we love the same thing.
After dark you'll find,
how much we love to sing.
The crowds are seated, quietly,
and the house lights are lowered.
The orchestra begins to play sprightly,
as the curtain travels upward.
So, there we are, hand in hand, together
in the the spotlight, and we start to sing.
We move up stage and down, as planned, and
we finish with a kiss, then head for the wing.
It's over for tonight, just the curtain call remains.
A standing ovation, it's never been so grand. Makeup removed, costumes put away, now off to the trains.
Tomorrow in the spotlight, we'll sing again, hand in hand.
