Quiet Please There's a Lady on Stage Lyrics

Quiet Please, There's A Lady On Stage
(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 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.
