[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
