Confession of A Stagehand

I sat back here and watched your life
I watched your life and you
And while your fans sat right in front
I had a backstage view

For years I’ve been here waiting
Though I’ve never said a word
You performed in silence
So you thought no one had heard

I hung on every moment
I threw roses at your feet
When you were feeling happy
I felt more complete

I hurt when you were hurting
I prayed for you at night
When you thought no-one was watching
You never left my sight

I’ll be just beyond the curtain
When the floodlights die
And when no-one will weep with you
I’ll be here to cry

And I will still be waiting
When the critics have their fun
Then I’ll buy out all the tickets
And applaud you from row one
