Silent Ovation
No one knows I am here
Listening to Christine singing on stage
She cannot see me
But she knows I never miss a performance
From the shadows I watch
High above in Box Five
As she becomes a star
Of the opera stage
Her voice speaks to me
It tells me she is singing only for me
Because without my support and guidance
She would not be in the spotlight
But with out her
I would still be down below
Hiding from the human race
Instead of listening to her sing to a crowded house
Her voice rises
In a tribute to her angel and teacher
Who brought out a voice that was only hiding inside her
Waiting for the right person to bring it out
She glances up at my box
As the song ends
And I'm the first person she bows to
As I applaud silently
No one knows I am here
Listening to Christine singing on stage
She cannot see me
But she knows I never miss a performance
From the shadows I watch
High above in Box Five
As she becomes a star
Of the opera stage
Her voice speaks to me
It tells me she is singing only for me
Because without my support and guidance
She would not be in the spotlight
But with out her
I would still be down below
Hiding from the human race
Instead of listening to her sing to a crowded house
Her voice rises
In a tribute to her angel and teacher
Who brought out a voice that was only hiding inside her
Waiting for the right person to bring it out
She glances up at my box
As the song ends
And I'm the first person she bows to
As I applaud silently
