Nellie Takes Her Bow
Who thanked the Lord for the clothes
That she wore and mended
Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes
Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow
Nellie there's a different world backstage
I see the flood lights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
She said she really could not stay, Nellie
She had a brand new play to play
And so she paints her face and smiles
And she'll be someone else in a while
I see the flood lights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
Just a lonely girl
Who could not face a broken world
And so she acts out all her dreams
And wishes that's how it had been
But when the audience is near
It seems as though she doesn't even care
Nellie just sent me a line
To tell me she was doing fine
She got the lead on Broadway
And really digging her today
So she turns the final page
Living someone's life upon the stage
I see the flood lights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
That she wore and mended
Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes
Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart, took a bow
Nellie there's a different world backstage
I see the flood lights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
She said she really could not stay, Nellie
She had a brand new play to play
And so she paints her face and smiles
And she'll be someone else in a while
I see the flood lights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
Just a lonely girl
Who could not face a broken world
And so she acts out all her dreams
And wishes that's how it had been
But when the audience is near
It seems as though she doesn't even care
Nellie just sent me a line
To tell me she was doing fine
She got the lead on Broadway
And really digging her today
So she turns the final page
Living someone's life upon the stage
I see the flood lights burning
I hear the band play on
Now Nellie takes her bow
