Backstage

Backstage:Gene Pitney. #4 in UK, #2 in Canada, #25 in USA in '66. ***(Check it out on YouTube.) #1.( for orig.) INTRO: A thousand hands applaud tonight, I sing my songs my star shines bright. I stop and smile, I take my bow, I leave the stage and then, somehow.. Chorus: Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry. You've gone away and each night, I seem to die a little.. #2. Out on that stage I play the star. I'm famous now, I've come so far. A famous fool, I let love go. I didn't know, I'd miss you so. Chorus: Backstage I'm lonely, backstage I cry. Hating myself, since I let you say goodbye.. #3. Every night a different room, Every night a different club. And yet I'm lonely all the time. When I sign my autograph, When I hold an interview, Can't get you out of my mind. #4. Come back my love, come back to me. I need you now, so desperately. What good is fame? It's just a game, I'd give it all, to be the same. #5. Backstage I wait now, hoping I'll see.. Your smiling face waiting there, backstage, for me. Your smiling face waiting, backstage, for me. Backstage...Backstage... A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
