Swing Night Behind the Red Curtain Front Cover

Lyric

When the Red Curtain Rises

Nocturne Echo

The house is hushed, all velvet and gold

I smooth my gloves and take my hold

The first note grins from the piano bench

Then the bass walks by with a little French

Wait for it now

Feel that glow

The whole room leans

To the front row

When the red curtain rises

I come alive, I come alive

When the red curtain rises

Watch me shine tonight

Shine tonight

A clarinet curls like a ribbon in air

Trumpet says, baby, look over there

I flash a smile and the crowd catches on

Every last doubt gets swept right along

Wait for it now

Hear that swing

The shoes go warm

The rafters ring

When the red curtain rises

I come alive, I come alive

When the red curtain rises

Watch me shine tonight

Shine tonight

Step back, darling, let the stage door swing

I've got my heart and a whole room to sing

One sharp cue and the spotlight blooms

Now even the shadows are tapping in time

When the red curtain rises

I come alive, I come alive

When the red curtain rises

Watch me shine tonight

Shine tonight
