Applause Songtext
von Charles Strouse

What is it that we′re living for?
Applause, applause
Nothing I know brings on the glow
Like sweet applause
You're thinking you′re through
That nobody cares
Then suddenly you
Hear it starting

And somehow, you're in charge again
And it's a ball
Trumpets all sing, life seems to swing
And you′re the king of it all, ′cause
You've had a taste of
The sound that says love
Applause, applause, applause


What is it that we′re living for?
Applause, applause
Nothing I know brings on the glow
Like sweet applause
Your bank account's bare
Your cat has the flu
You′re losing your hair
Then you hear it

That happy sound rolls over you
And just like that
Everything's bright, this is the night
Love hits you right where you′re at, 'cause
You've had a taste of
The sound that says love
Applause, applause
Applause, applause, applause
