I still can remember the first time I saw the lights

Basking in their brilliance on those gorgeous Broadway nights

I knew it even then that one day I would come to see

Those dazzling Broadway lights shining down on only me

I honed all my skills for years so certain I would be

The one that all the people would be coming there to see

Believing fame and fortune was to be my destiny

Never knowing just how difficult the road ahead would be

Give me the lights of Broadway

Let me be who I can be

So I can be the one that all the people come to see

Give me the lights of Broadway

To achieve my destiny

When all the lights of Broadway will be shining down on me

I spent many years preparing getting ready for the time

When somebody would call my name the stage would all be mine

And then one day I got the call quite unexpectedly

An understudy part that opened up the door for me

It wasn’t long till I was standing alone at center stage

The one that they had come to see my name upon the page

When someone turned the spotlight on and aimed it down on me

And everything was beautiful the way it’s s’posed to be

Now finally I have got the chance to prove who I can be

The one that they are cheering for at last it’s finally me

Give me the lights of Broadway

Let me be who I can be

So I can be the one that all the people come to see

Give me the lights of Broadway

To achieve my destiny

When all the lights of Broadway will be shining down on me
