A long way we have traveled   Just to see your name in lights   We're writing you this letter   Because we're with you tonight      Your mama she misses you so   And your papa wants you to know   That babe, we want you to have your say   We don't want to stand in your way      The last time that we saw you   And we heard those curtain calls   We held hands and we loved you   And we shouted for more      Your mama she misses you so   And your papa wants you to know   That babe, we want you to have your say   We don't want to stand in your way      But call us and say   When you're passing this way   And let us still know that you care      Clean sheets on the bed in your room   And a place   At the table and in our hearts      Every night is a first night for someone   Someone's makin' their debut   On starry eyes   The curtain will rise      Your mama she misses you so   And your papa wants you to know   That babe, we want you to have your say   We don't want to stand in your way      But call us and say   When you're passing this way   And let us still know that you care      Clean sheets on the bed in your room   And a place   At the table and in our hearts      Such a long way we have traveled   Just to see your name in lights   We're writing you this letter   Because we're with you tonight      Your mama she misses you so   And your papa wants you to know   That baby, we want you to have your say   We don't want to stand in your way      Every night is a first night for someone   Someone's makin' their debut   On starry eyes   The curtain will rise      Every night is a first night for someone   Someone's bringing the house down   We want you to know   They're stealing the show      'Cause baby   We don't want to stand in your way
