A long way we have travelled
 
 Just to see your name in lights
 
 We're writing you this letter
 
 Because 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.
  
 
 Such long way we have travelled
 
 Just to see your name in lights
 
 We're writing you this letter
 
 'Cos we're with you tonight
 
 Your Mama she misses you so
 
 And your Papa wants you to know
 
 That baby
 
 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.
