behind the door

Cher

Behind The Door

Behind the door of every house
In every street, in every town
A story is unfoldin'
A story is unfoldin' of love and hate
The morseless wait of hopes and fears
Of smiles and tears of dreams
That lie a moldering

Behind the door of every house
In every street, in every town
The stage is set for playin'
The stage is set for playin'
And I call crime a pantomime
Sweet romance, a ritual dance
The characters are playin'

Behind the door of every house
In every street, in every town
The people are a waitin'
The people are a waitin'
To bare and die, the years go by
The wedding spree, the funeral teaBR> And still they go on mating

And to the one the only one
Remember when the need of man
Is greater again
The prayers take off ascending
Of bountful love to the one above
Asking for, asking for, asking for, asking for
A happy ending, a happy ending, a happy ending
Yeah
