piles of papers and trunks of clothes
unopened mail and maps for roads
there was a box with braids so fair
spent 56 years sitting there
we had some wigs made from your hair
the sound of music never looked this good
red haired curls of a riding hood
your spirit moves through time and space
I can see the look on your face
hills are alive all with your grace
i can picture you flying above the stage
there’s no need for wires to keep you up there in your place
the heavens above are opening up into outer space
you’ll steal the scene around here on opening day
you’ll get to play in every heart
they shaved a head for every part
you’ll be on stage through curtains end
there’ll be seats for all your friends
standing o’s and applause from them
i can picture you flying above the stage
there’s no need for wires to keep you up there in your place
the heavens above are opening up into outer space
you’ll steal the scene around here on opening day
on opening day your star will shine and you’ll be heard
there’s nothing better than seeing a critic
who’s choking on a mouthful of his words
i can’t imagine a more fitting end
to see your red haired curls again
they were cut and they were saved
who’d ever guess they’d be used this way
pieces of you on opening day
i can picture you flying above the stage
there’s no need for wires to keep you up there in your place
the heavens above are opening up into outer space
you’ll steal the scene around here
on opening day
