Tears on the Stage

[Genre: 70s/80s power ballad, glam rock] [Instruments: Clean electric guitars, soft but powerful drums] [Mood: Emotional, heartfelt, longing, nostalgic] [Verse 1] The lights go down, but you’re still there A shadow dancing in the midnight air The crowd is loud, but I hear you clear Your voice, your name, it’s all I fear [Pre-Chorus] Every note I sing, it’s you I see This life on the road is killing me [Chorus] Tears on the stage, fallin’ like rain I smile through the spotlight, but hide the pain I’d trade the cheers for one more night Holdin’ you close, in the soft moonlight [Verse 2] These hotel walls can’t warm my skin Your kiss, your touch, where have you been? Another town, another show But none of this means much, you know [Pre-Chorus] The fame is loud, but love is true And every lonely song’s for you [Chorus] Tears on the stage, fallin’ like rain I smile through the spotlight, but hide the pain I’d trade the cheers for one more night Holdin’ you close, in the soft moonlight [Bridge] And when I hit that final chord I’m dreaming of you, no encore You’re the reason, you’re the flame Without you, none of this means a thing [ Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Tears on the stage, fallin’ like rain I’d give it all just to feel you again Let the lights fade, let the echoes die I just want you by my side
