One night out under the stars
One night out under the stars
With Romeo and Juliet
One night out under the stars
One night out under the stars
Have you seen this one yet?

Shakespeare makes me happy
Shakespeare makes me happy
So happy, and I'm happy to be with you
Shakespeare makes me happy
Shakespeare makes me happy
So happy, and I'm happy to be with you

We may be
Garden variety
But we can step inside
Of his immortal mind
We get a wider view
Some universal truth
And when we step inside
That's when we realize
This is your life

We lay down in the grass
We lay down in the grass
For Henry the IV part 1
And it feels so lovely to laugh
And it feels so lovely to cry
Like a personal battle won

Hamlet makes me happy
Falstaff makes me happy
So happy, and I'm happy to be with you
Rosalind makes me happy
Beatrice makes me happy
So happy, and I'm happy to be with you

We may be
Quite ordinary
But we can step inside
Of his immortal mind
We gain some empathy
Some perspicacity
It happens every time
He makes me want to write

This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
On opening night
