He met her backstage
She was s'pose to be just another girl
For the night
But there was something in her smile
That stopped his breath
She made everything make sense ohh
After the lights go down
And after the screams go dead
Her voice it still echoes in his head
After the lights go down
And after the lust and fame
His heart it still beats to the sound of her name
Sometimes he wakes up
Calling out for the one good thing
He let go
In a lonely hotel room he tries
To relive that night
And to see her smilling for him ohh
After the lights go down
And after the screams go dead
Her voice it still echoes in his head
After the lights go down
And after the lust and fame
His heart it still beats to the sound of her name ohh
The sound of her name
Oooh maybe one day maybe one day ohh oh oh oh hooooo
The lights go down oh oh
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 too scared to say
That her child's eys are his
After the lights go down
And after the screams go dead
Her voice it still echoes in his head
After the lights go down
And after the lust and fame
His heart it still beats to the sound of her name
