Lyrics
The perfect leading lady
Unique and true and towering
Magnetic, overpowering
The star the crowds adore
If they could only know you
Your humour and humility
Your strength and your fragility
They'd love you even more
Tonight was a wonder
All the dreams we worked for have come true
My shining leading lady
Bravo, bravo, bravo
I owe so much to you
Now to top it all
You'll never guess who's turned up
You'll never recognise him
Twelve years on and still as handsome
Later
Don't I ever get a minute to myself?
I'll see him later
Alex, it's Alex
How long have you been standing there?
You are a fool
You should have told me
Come on, let me see you
You were amazing
Now that's more like an audience
This time I must have been the only one
Who didn't throw you roses
Now Hugo, be a dear
And get our guest an Armagnac
It's on the bottom shelf
Why not have one yourself?
Where to start?
It's been so long
Come have a seat
And tell me all your news
Let me see
George will love to hear it all
How is my uncle?
He's at the house in Pau with Jenny
They really love it
I can't wait to leave all this
And be with them again
No more stuffy dressing rooms
Tell Jean-Michel to bring my car round
We leave this evening
It's such a long and lonely journey
Why not come with me?
Are you sure you want me to accept?
Very well then
I accept
Here, have some Armagnac
Hugo, I'm afraid that your trip is cancelled
Let me just make a very quick phone call
I know how it is with old friends
Well, join us by train in a week
Janet, Janet, it's me here
Look, I don't think I can make it
No, it's not that I don't love you, but
