In the beginning, (every thing was new city lights, those subway sounds) I was a young love (fell in love with you) You looked so beautiful At the matinee (on Broadway) She threw a kiss my way (Broadway) I fell in love (Broadway) Fell in love with the leading lady, yeah Anticipation (Ran within my mind, bu*terflies were flying high) After the encore (would this be the time) That love would bring us together But, when the curtain fell (on Broadway) The theater was an empty shell (Broadway) Tell me where did she go (on Broadway)
Guess I'll never know, I'll never, never know So, baby, take it to the stage So, we can dance You and I, a virgin romance, Take it to the stage, Where love began My imagination, let's make pretend (I fell in love ohh, whooo) Well she stole my heart And I was so young and I didn't understand it But I waited, and I waited and I waited To see was she a widow, or out and come around to marry, yeah oh yeah (Broadway) Anticipation run in on my mind (Broadway) What a weight on my mind, my mind Broadway On Broadway, Broadway
