The sight of me so familiar
So I stay invisible
Hardly looked upon
I am also becoming forgotten already
I stay unnoticed
And yet I’m always there
And no one can wholly
Appreciate my work
We perceive ourselves, we keep up appearances
Tonight! Forever! We get involved
Only you and I are real here
And everything else doesn’t matter
All that counts is that we’re visible
You to me and I to you
The rest of the world is deaf and blind
And unimportant
I need no audience
And never earn applause
I serve still and silently
And undeterred
I’m not really here
Yet I never go out
And no door
Truly remains locked to me
(Refrain x 2)
All that counts is that we're visible
The rest of the world is deaf and dumb and blind
