Lyrics
When the curtain comes down
And the house lights go on
When the grease paint comes off
And the audience is gone
When all you have left is a
Program from the play
And the memories...
When the last bow is made in the final curtain call
And the roles that you played are just posters on the wall
When all you have left is a scrapbook full of dreams
And the memories...
When the days turn into years,
It's the laughter and the tears, and the memories
That will never fade away.
Here's a toast to souveniers,
To the time when we were here
And the memories that will never fade away
