Dusty Springfield - Quiet Please, There's A Lady On Stage lyrics

(carole bayer-sager & peter allen) Quiet please, there's a lady on stage She may not be the latest rage But she's singing and she means it And she deserves a little silence Quiet please, there's a woman up there And she's been honest through her songs Long before your consciousness was raised Doesn't that deserve a little praise So put your hands together and help her along All that's left of the singer's All that's left of the song Stand for the ovation And give her one last celebration Quiet please, there's a person up there And she's been singing of the things That none of us could bear to hear for ourselves Give her your respect if nothing else Quiet please, there's a lady on stage Conductor, turn the final page And when it's over we can all go home But she lives on -- on the stage alone.
