Face In The Crowd

Is this the night I finally will see you?

Is this the time I've waited for so long?

Night after night I play this show without you

Can't help but think about you in every song

Back in the wings somebody says "five minutes"

And soon the lights will dim out in the hall

I check the mirror, at the side of the stage I'm waiting

Ready to meet the one I want most of all

I see your face in the crowd and I am crazy for you

You see me crying out loud

Millions of faces, a sea before me,

I can see only you are the face in the crowd

With every song I really get to know you

A crowd of one, though there's 20.000 more

We are alone in the midst of all this madness

Will you be there when I walk out the backstage door?

Before I know it the show's at its conclusion

I close my eyes on this visual love affair

And as I leave the theatre crowds are waiting

I turn to sign the last book and you are there
