He met her backstage
She was supposed to be just another girl for the night
But there was something in her smile
That stopped his breath
She made everything make sense

(chorus)
After the lights go down
And after the screams go dead
Her voice still echoes in his head
After the lights go down
And after the lust and fame
His heart
Still beats to the sound of her name

Sometimes he wakes up
Calling for the one good thing he let go
In a lonely hotel room he tries to relieve that night
And to see her smilling for the him

(chorus)

Years later he sees her
But when he sees her ring
His words escape
And he doesn't say he still tastes her kiss
And she's to scared to say
That her child's eyes are his

(chorus)
