Opening Night
One night out under the stars
One night out under the stars
With Romeo and Juliet
One night out under the stars
One night out under the stars
Have you seen this one yet?
Shakespeare makes me happy
Shakespeare makes me happy
So happy, and I'm happy to be with you
Shakespeare makes me happy
Shakespeare makes me happy
So happy, and I'm happy to be with you
We may be garden variety
But we can step inside of his immortal mind
We get a wider view, some universal truth
And when we step inside, that's when we realize
This is your life
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na (happy to be with you)
We lay down in the grass, we lay down in the grass
For Henry the IV part one
And it feels so lovely to laugh
And it feels so lovely to cry
Like a personal battle won
Hamlet makes me happy
Falstaff makes me happy
So happy, and I'm happy to be with you
Rosalind makes me happy
Beatrice makes me happy
So happy, and I'm happy to be with you
We may be quite ordinary
But we can step inside of his immortal mind
We gain some empathy, some perspicacity
It happens every time, he makes me want to write
This is your life (this is your life tonight)
This is your life
This is your life
On opening night
