When the Curtains Close
When the curtains close
And the lights fade
The stage is empty
The show has played
All the decisions you make today
Will determine the role you play
You get what you give or so they say
And the bed you make is where you must lay
So be careful
As you choose your tools
And never forget
These golden rules
Giving means more
than receiving
Faith is only half
of believing
Always follow your
heart
And never be
afraid to start
For the memories
That we’ve made before
Can still be heard
At heaven’s door
So live today
Like there is no tomorrow
And remember the joy
Not the sorrow
