After The Curtain Falls - Copyright (C) 8/7/08 by Dan Sharpe

I auditioned with every word,
laid my heart out line by line,
but somehow you never heard,
and your heart was never mine.

And though I know it sounds absurd,
like some messed up nursery rhyme,
day by day, your face has blurred,
unrequited, love, will fade with time.

But, you know, I still believe in you,
and often stop to say a prayer for you,
I know you'll shine your whole life through,
and all the love of Heaven waits for you.
