Justin Hayward, Lyrics:

Stage door:

A long way we have travelled
Just to see your name in lights
We're writing you this letter
'Cause we're with you tonight

Your Mama misses you so
And your Papa wants you to know
That, Babe
We want you to have your say
We don't want to stand in your way

The last time that we saw you
And we heard those curtain calls
We held hands and we loved you
And we shouted for more

Your Mama, she misses you so
And your Papa wants you to know
That, Babe
We want you to have your say
We don't want to stand in your way

But call us and say
When you're passing this way
And let us still know that you care
Clean sheets on the bed in your room
And a place at the table
And in our hearts

Every night is a first night for someone
Someone's making their debut
On starry eyes, the curtain will rise

Your Mama, she misses you so
And your Papa wants you to know
That, Babe
We want you to have your say
We don't want to stand in your way

But call us and say
When you're passing this way
And let us still know that you care
Clean sheets on the bed in your room
And a place at the table
And in our hearts

Such a long way we have travelled
Just to see your name in lights
We're writing you this letter
'Cause we're with you tonight

Your Mama, she misses you so
And your Papa wants you to know
That, Babe
We want you to have your say
We don't want to stand in your way

Every night is a first night for someone
Someone's making their debut
On starry eyes the curtain will rise
Every night is a first night for someone
Someone's bringing the house down
We want you to know
They're stealing the show

'Cause Babe
We don't want to stand in your way...
