Children 18:3 - Oh, Bravo

I couldn't see beyond the corner to the stage
From my place between the cowboy and the clown
Mommy dressed me up and left me with a kiss
For the talent show now beginning
The curtain coming down
Just enough to hear them say,

Oh, bravo
You're the best
There is no one else
Oh, bravo
Our aplause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go
Bravo

One by one they came and left us all amazed
Everyone so elegant it made me feel so plain
The clown so colorful, the ballerina danced and twirled
And I thought,
"Clearly they're all better than my little song!"
And they deserve to hear the praise

Oh, bravo
You're the best
There is no one else
Oh, bravo
Our aplause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go
Bravo

Running off the stage with bitter tears of shame
Close my eyes and try so hard to make it go away
I just want to go home and tell my teddy bear, "I failed, I failed!"
I turned around the corner just to hear my daddy say,

Oh, bravo
You're the best
You're my only one
Oh, bravo
That will always be enough
Look at me
Your song was beautiful, beautiful
And even if nobody ever know
Bravo

Oh, bravo
You're the best
There is no one else
Oh, bravo
Our aplause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go
Bravo

Oh, bravo
You're the best
There is no one else
Oh, bravo
Our aplause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go
Bravo

Oh, bravo
You're the best
There is no one else
Oh, bravo
Our aplause is not enough
Can you hear us yell out, yell out
On and on we go
Bravo
