[Verse 1]
Who are you when the lights come up?
When the music fades and the crowd goes down?
Where did you land when the spinning stopped?
Are you far away in another town?
You were young and the lights were bright
You went dancing in to the night
You always said it would turn out alright
Suzanne, would you help me if you can?

[Chorus]
Suzanne, is it everything you wanted?
Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be?
You reached for the stars and you touched the sky
You fеll back down and you don't know why
But, Suzanne, you still shine bright to me

[Verse 2]
You arе the first one on and the last one off
Who do you see when the mask comes off?
With your red wine teeth and your smoker's cough
Suzanne, I feel you've had enough
But you never cared for what I had to say
Now you go sleeping all through the day
Please don't dream your life away
Suzanne, will you help me to understand?
[Chorus]
Suzanne, is it everything you wanted?
Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be?
For time takes everything she likes
And youth'll leave like a thief in the night
But, Suzanne, you still shine bright to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now you're old and the lights are dim
The band won't play and the man won't sing
Oh, the songs that he sang when you danced with him
Suzanne, can I take you by the hand?

[Chorus]
Suzanne, is it everything you wanted?
Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be?
You never knew the rules to the game
Drawn in like a moth to the flame
But, Suzanne, it is a crying shame
That they’ll never know your name
