Horace Silver - The Show Has Begun

To Rate
Verse 1
Here we stand in distant land with distant memory
Wonderin' why the things we see have distant reverie
Have we met sometime, somewhere in life's gigantic show?
Have we both fulfilled a part in plays of long ago?

Chorus
The tickets are sold, rehearsals are done
The curtain pulls back to view a new act
Now this could be fun, the show has begun

Verse 2
Takin' on a brand new part and studyin' the role
Makin' change of character that new things might unfold
Lookin' for a new approach to help us to display
Inner depth and beauty to the part we have to play

Chorus
The tickets are sold, rehearsals are done
The curtain pulls back to view a new act
Now this could be fun, the show has begun

Saxophone Solo

Electric Piano Solo
Verse 3
Do we know just who we are or who we might have been?
Puttin' on a brand new face that we might act again
Who can tell the roles we'll play in searchin' for the one
That will bring true happiness when acting days are done

Chorus
The tickets are sold, the rehearsals are done
The curtain pulls back to view a new act
Now this could be fun, the show has begun

Outro
Now this could be fun
The show has begun
Now this could be fun
Now this could be fun
Now this could be fun
The show has begun
Now this could be fun
