The stage is set and tap run dry
It's time for opening night
Be quick to find your seats
It's time to set the scene
Ushers walking down the aisle
Go ahead and stay a while
Down all the lighting goes
It's time to start the show
It's not time to be
Just a memory
It's not our time to go
It's not time to be
Just a memory
It's not our time to go
And as the story's told
The characters' lives unfold
They'll tell you everything
Every wish and hope and dream
So when the curtain falls
The actors take their calls
Go ahead turn the page
And exit players from the stage
It's not time to be
Just a memory
It's not our time to go
It's not time to be
Just a memory
It's not our time to go
It's not time to be
Just a memory
It's not our time to go
It's not time to be
Just a memory
It's not our time to go
Stage is set and tap run dry (It's not time to be)
It's time for opening night (Just a memory)
It's not our time to go
And as the story's told (It's not time to be)
The characters' lives unfold (Just a memory)
It's not our time to go home
