The Golden Days Are Over

She locks the bedroom door - lies face down on the bed

Hears voices down the hall - are they real or in her head

Pictures on the wall - reminders every one

Just memories of the past - of a time that's

Been and gone

All those wild and crazy nights - they still

Dance before her eyes

(those crazy nights - her name in lights)

Look at her now the golden days are over

Look at her now no leading man to hold her

She was one in a million now she's that

Forgotten face

Look at her now the golden days are over

Applauded by the press - an overnight success

A favourite with the fans - had them eating

From her hands

But stars fall from the sky - in the twinkle

Of an eye

There's no more silver screen just another

Broken dream

Still she strikes a classic pose - just in case

The cameras roll

(she steals the scene - relieves the dream)

Look at her now the golden days are over

Look at her now no leading man to hold her

She was one in a million now she's that

Forgotten face

Look at her now she needs someone to hold her

To feed her lines - someone to co-star

Someone to shine

Look at her now the golden days are over

(the golden days are over - they're over)

Look at her now no leading man to hold her

(no m.g.m. - no paramount - no 20th century)

Look at her now the golden days are over

(decline and fall - no curtain call)
