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.
