[Verse 1]
There have been many years of sacrifice
So many nights of not being home
Some days felt like a million years have pa**ed
I'd wake, another day I'd grown
We both have lived inside our words, our songs
We both have lived the actors life
But soon I'll cross to see the purple hue
That's up against the Times Square lights
[Chorus 1]
And yes, I miss the nights
And yes, I miss the days
But that selfishness you feel
When you're up there on that stage
And so there is nothing you'd change at all
[Verse 2]
They often say that in somebody's eyes
You see the years of history
And in my brown eyes, what I hope is there
Is the life that gave life to me
[Chorus 2]
'Cause in my mommy, there is strength
And everything I hope to be
And I hope I make her proud
Of what I'm turning out to be
And I hope there is nothing she'd change at all
[Verse 3]
I know one day that this applause will end
And I'll take one final bow
And as that curtain's starting to descend
I'll think, I hope I made you both proud
[Outro]
'Cause mommy you're my home
And baby, I'm alive
And I hope that there is joy
Seeing me up there in lights
And I hope there is nothing you'd change at all
