Opening night for the same old show
Well the lights go down and the curtains up
Tell me is the spotlight bright enough?
Read the cards and recite those lines
You know they always seem so dry
And the words you say, they are getting old,
But the choirs singing for you
All is well, all is gold!
Can't you hear them singing for you?
Now you're everything that you hoped you'd be
Oh yeah you know you've got,
You've got everyone on the edge of their seats,
Watching you so anxiously
Hanging on to every word,
You knew they always would
And the words you say, they are getting old,
But the choirs singing for you
All is well, all is gold!
Can't you hear them singing for you?
We'll move towards a steady place on solid ground
And the time will find us in our separate country towns
The pictures line your shelves
You wish that someone else adorned
That golden frame above the fireplace
At night when you're in bed,
I'll sneak inside your head,
Into your wildest dreams
Because you still need me
All is well! Not everything is gold
