Sitting alone in the twilight of your room
|
With your face staring at the wall
|
Playing with reminders of yesteryear
|
Persona that hasn't got a place at all
|
Your were in love with the caress of a camara
|
And I was in love with you
|
Now the mirrors' dimmed and cracked
|
Like your aura and your glammer
|
Make the legend
|
Easier to live through
|
|
And I once loved a smile
|
And I once dreamed a look
|
I collected your memories too
|
Now the eyes hold the flame
|
And the face holds the pain
|
As you try to live your legend through
|
|
And I once loved a smile
|
And I once dreamed a look
|
I collected your memories too
|
Now the eyes hold the flame
|
And the face holds the pain
|
As you try to live your legend through
|
|
It's so sad you never gave in smiling
|
Aging to an art
|
Wishing we could grow together
|
When we only grow apart
|
|
It's so sad you never gave in smiling
|
Aging to an art
|
Wishing we could grow together
|
When we only grow apart
|
|
Life behind the shades is a life all in the mind
|
With no place in the living at all
|
You die with the dreams and so it seems
|
With imagination's down fall
|
Keep up the whispers
|
Incite the adoration
|
That glows around the image of you
|
With a kiss to the screen
|
As you play out the scene
|
As you try to live your legend through
|
|
And I once loved a smile
|
And I once dreamed a look
|
I collected your memories too
|
Now the eyes hold the flame
|
And the face holds the pain
|
As you try to live your legend through
|
|
And I once loved a smile
|
And I once dreamed a look
|
I collected your memories too
|
Now the eyes hold the flame
|
And the face holds the pain
|
As you try to live your legend through
|
|
It's so sad you never gave in smiling
|
Aging to an art
|
Wishing we could grow together
|
When we only grow apart
|
|
It's so sad you never gave in smiling
|
Aging to an art
|
Wishing we could grow together
|
When we only grow apart
|
|
And I once loved a smile
|
And I once dreamed a look
|
I collected your memories too
|
Now the eyes hold the flame
|
And the face holds the pain
|
As you try to live your legend through
