A thousand hands applaud tonight

I sing my songs my star shines bright

I stop and smile i take my 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 care

Every night a different club

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

For me

Your smiling face waiting backstage for me

Backstage backstage

Chris chris chris come back

Come back come back come back
