The Ringmaster

You were the Ringmaster Announcer of the show But now that you are leaving, there will be no more entertainment we have to let you go The lights will dim, the noise will not arise There will be no more acts to follow, they will be put aside The laughter, the jokes, the gestures you've made will lay silent, deep within the night to realize that this is a flight. A journey that you will venture, to greater audiences One that calls for an abundance of a crowd larger than life This new performance will be active in the light The dark will seem like a thing of the past Your new review, will come up fast You'll be announcing a new career One you've waited for more than a year You'll shine, brighter than the stars You'll be the greatest by far Yes we will admit, it's sad to say adieu But most of all, we'll be missing you.
