One life one love one day

The painted faces of the minstrels as they gather
At the starting of the show
Soon the curtain will be up, the crowd will roar
But now it's silence
Time to think and reminisce
The life we give up for all this
The greasepaint hides the pain
Waiting in the wings and standing in the rain

One life, one love, one day
I hope to find my own
One kiss so rare
A shelter from the storm
There to keep me warm

The smiling faces of the people as they gather
At the ending of the show
Soon I'll be appearing in the life I know
Another masquerade
Tomorrow night we'll live again
The stars will light the stage and then
Our songs will fill the air
Love's the only thing that we can ever share

One life, one love, one day
I hope to find my own
One kiss so rare
A shelter from the storm
There to keep me warm

One kiss so rare
A shelter from the storm
There to keep me warm

Curtain calls in music halls
The lights go down and dim the stalls
The only life to live
Love's the only thing that we can ever give

One life, one love, one day
I hope to find my own
One kiss so rare
A shelter from the storm
There to keep me warm
One life, one love, one day
