Nobody Can Take It All Away

Lyrics

Instrumental

Verse 1

He wipes the make up from his face and pours himself another drink
Reflects upon his life
And everything that might have been
The songs remained the same
But the scenery had changed
His golden days soon disappeared
Like a tear caught in the rain

Verse 2

She found herself cast on the tender mercies of the street
Dirt beneath her fingernails
A star beneath her feet
Once she was a queen
On the glittering silver screen
Now In the shadows of the city lights
She plays out, her final scenes

Chorus

Nobody, can take it all away
Nobody, can take it all away
We can't unwind the hands of time
Though the world keeps passing by
You left them laughing through the tears
A voice that echoes through the years
Nobody, can take it all away

Bridge

Beyond the bright lights
Lies the toll behind the dream
Sometimes the price you pay
Is much more than it seems

Instrumental

Verse 3

Now the theatre lies empty, yet within its hallowed walls
The balconies recall
The sound of lost applause
High above the faded signs
Still their names forever shine
Though the final curtain had to fall
The legends never died

Chorus

Nobody, can take it all away
Nobody, can take it all away
We can't unwind the hands of time
Though the world keeps passing by
You left them laughing through the tears
A voice that echoes through the years
Nobody, can take it all away

Nobody, can take it all away
Nobody, can take it all away
Nobody, can take it all away
Nobody, can take it all away
