Lyrics
[verse]
Nadia, I saw your picture in the paper today
Big lights, bright smile, they finally came your way
I always knew that camera loved the way you'd turn
Now the whole town's talking, watching, waiting for their turn
[chorus]
Nadia, you're gonna shine tonight
Up there on the marquee, wrapped in silver light
I'll be in the crowd out where you can't quite see
But I'll know that smile was partly meant for me
[verse]
You used to practice lines out on the fire escape
Now they're printing posters, cutting film to tape
Funny how the girl who used to borrow all my dimes
Is the one they're writing songs about these times
[chorus]
Nadia, you're gonna shine tonight
Up there on the marquee, wrapped in silver light
I'll be in the crowd out where you can't quite see
But I'll know that smile was partly meant for me
[bridge]
Don't forget the sound of rain on the old rooftop
Don't forget the nights we thought the world would never stop
Wherever that spotlight finally sets you down
Remember where you started before you wore the crown
[chorus]
Nadia, you're gonna shine tonight
Up there on the marquee, wrapped in silver light
I'll be in the crowd out where you can't quite see
But I'll know that smile was partly meant for me
