The Final Curtain Lyrics

by James Hopkins-Harrison/Detlef Petersen

He was a dreamer from the day he was born
now he's an old man, and his body is worn
in his eyes burns a flame, all that remains
of the man that they all used to know.
They're home for the first time and many's the day,
his sons and his daughters, they united again
birth or death, wedding bells, not when you're well
they have come for the passing of age.

And he knows it's the day,
as his flashes by, there 'fore his eyes
yes, he knows it's the day
and his friends have all come,
awaiting the curtain to fall
nothing can stop it at all
(no, not at all).
He was a good man said his wife to a friend
he always stood by me, through thick and through thin
oh, we both had our days, made love and made hate
but I'd do it again if I could.
And he knows it's the day,
as his flashes by, there 'fore his eyes
yes, he knows it's the day
and his friends have all come,
awaiting the curtain to fall
nothing can stop it at all
(oh, not at all....)
