Back in the days, when my feet graced the stage,
Everyone knew my name as I lavished in fame,
But those pages, are ripped and they are torn,
Today a remnant of what was is laying here,
Don't ring the bell, please don't come near,

Can't you see, what was can never be,
My arrogance is history, the act is over for me,
But the applause, is still ringing in my ear,
The curtain calls, the theater's packed, sweat pouring from my face,

Please take me back to the days, when I was all the rage and every
schoolboy and girl, wanted to meet me and reach to touch my hand,

Please take me back, please take me back, please take me back, good-bye

(ride)

Please take me back to the days, when I was all the rage and every
schoolboy and girl, wanted to meet me and reach to touch my hand,

Please take me back, please take me back, please take me back, good-bye

Time, can't you see, an old empty marquee
And this cane is to me, more than the prop it used to be
But in my checkered suit, I wait in the wings,
As I was introduced, the audience screams, the lights, the spinet plays,

Please let me dream of the days, when I was all the rage and every
Leading Lady, wanted to meet me and reach to touch my hand,

Please take me back, please take me back, please take me back, The Final Act
