Play The Part

I always did believe
Our name in lights
Might make us complete
Up there in some tight mystery

Here on these blue stone streets
Where tourists walk
And lovers compete
With time and the stories
They want to believe

Now, as the evening rains
Temper the heat
You sigh with your eyes
And I take the time to give you
A slow reply

Play the part
Pulling the heartstrings
To see what the song brings
Play the part
I want to believe it
Just make me believe it
And steal my heart
It's there in the scene where
You're dreaming of someone
I'll play the part

So we reverse the lines
And feel the drama rise
As we laugh and cry
Our auditions about to collide

Now, as the mourning sun shines
Through pale sheets
You smile with your eyes
And then take the time to show me
The other side

Play the part
Pulling the heartstrings
To see what the song brings
Play the part
I want to believe it
Just make me believe it
And steal my heart
It's there in the scene
Where you dance with a stranger
I'll play the part

Play the part
Pulling the heartstrings
To see what the song brings
Play the part
I want to believe it
Just make me believe it
And steal my heart
It's there in the scene
Where you find your tomorrows

When the lights go down again
And the curtain falls it's then
You steal my heart
