musicals - sunset boulevard - the greatest star of all lyrics

Loading...

max
once, you won’t remember
if you said hollywood, hers was the face you’d think of
her face on every billboard
in just a single week, she’s get ten thousand letters

men would offer
fortunes for a bloom from her corsage
or a few strands of her hair

today, she’s half-forgotten
but it’s the pictures that got small
she is the greatest star of all

then, you can’t imagine
how fans would sacrifice themselves to touch her shadow
there was a maharajah
who hanged himself with one of her discarded stockings

she’s immortal
caught inside that flickering light beam
is a youth which cannot fade

madame’s a living legend;
i’ve seen so many idols fall
she is the greatest star of all

joe (v.o.)
when he’d gone, i stook looking out the window for a while.
there was the ghost of a tennis court with faded markings and a sagging net.
there was an empty pool where clara bows and fatty arbuckle must have swum 10,000 midnights ago.
and then there was something else: the chimp’s last rites, as if she were laying
a child to rest. was her life really as empty as that?
