The Show Must Go On
Zagorová, Hana
Breviary of Love (1979)

Hana Zagorová

As a rule we all have be to bear sadness,
happiness too, comes our way.
Whether we know sorrow our lifes gladness,
just depends on fate.

I have also known the taste of honey,
suddenly though everythins changed well life is funny,
time is said to heal all things, so I’ll just wait.

Cruel things you wrote me in your letter,
that I’m just a might have been,
and to make things worse, maybe better,
that I should stay behind the scene.


I stood alone thinking I’ve never make it.
The band struck up the opening chords of my greatest song hit.
And you faded from my mind,
Just like a dream
Like a hazy dream.

The show must go on
Though my worlds gone wrong,
and while my tears still flow on
I’ll sing our special song.

The show must go on,
I am still playing my part.
The show must go on
though you‘ve broken my heart.

In my song was all the joy of living,
Things that make lifes melody,

life is sweet when both of us we are giving
surely you must know and see.

When I sing my heart with love was steaming
suddenly though melody has no meaning
Now you’ve gone its void and flat, well, c’est la vie.

Cruel things you wrote me in your letter,
that I’m just a might have been,
and to make things worse, maybe better,
that I should stay behind the scene.

I stood alone thinking I’ve never make it.
The band struck up the opening chords of my greatest song hit.

And you faded from my mind,
Just like a dream
Like a hazy dream.

The show must go on
Though my worlds gone wrong,
and while my tears still flow on
I’ll sing our special song.

The show must go on,
I am still playing my part.
The show must go on
though you‘ve broken my heart.
