Understudy There was a time When I was defeated on love's stage And had forgotten the music. You waited in the wings For that harrowing symphony In the key of my anguish to end Stood patiently while my bleeding and battered spirit Came at last to cadence. And then... Pianissimo, gently As is your way You shepherded me into the spotlight of your aria Led me into a duet that Made me glow radiant Until the audience Gave us a standing ovation. |
