Opening Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] One night out under the stars One night out under the stars With Romeo and Juliet One night out under the stars One night out under the stars Have you seen this one yet? [Pre-Chorus] Shakespeare makes me happy Shakespeare makes me happy So happy, and I'm happy to be with you Shakespeare makes me happy Shakespeare makes me happy So happy, and I'm happy to be with you [Chorus] We may be Garden variety But we can step inside Of his immortal mind We get a wider view Some universal truth And when we step inside That's when we realize This is your life [Verse 2] We lay down in the grass We lay down in the grass For Henry the IV part 1 And it feels so lovely to laugh And it feels so lovely to cry Like a personal battle won [Pre-Chorus] Hamlet makes me happy Falstaff makes me happy So happy, and I'm happy to be with you Rosalind makes me happy Beatrice makes me happy So happy, and I'm happy to be with you [Chorus] We may be Quite ordinary But we can step inside Of his immortal mind We gain some empathy Some perspicacity It happens every time He makes me want to write This is your life This is your life This is your life On opening night
