Audience of One

If I never play before a throng That camps out for tickets All night long I don't mind And if the critics Criticize every line I write And the money never rolls in That's okay Because the one I want Sitting in the front row Whose appreciation Means the most to me Is she who inspires the song And if she wants an encore I'll sing it all night long To my audience of one She says she loves To hear me sing That right there, folks That means everything If the song gets her Through a difficult day Or maybe even makes her Want to play I've done my job Because the one I want Sitting in the front row Whose appreciation Means the most to me Is she who inspires the song And if she wants an encore I'll sing it all night long To my audience of one And when I'm done And when I've sung That last note We'll call it a night And cut the lights If I never play before a throng That camps out for tickets All night long I don't mind And if the critics Criticize every line I write And the money never rolls in That's okay Because the one I want Sitting in the front row Whose appreciation Means the most to me Is she who inspires the song And if she wants an encore I'll sing it all night long To my audience of one
