letra de the greatest star of all - david thaxton & andrew lloyd webber

[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’d 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 fl!ckering 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, spoken]
when he’d gone, i stood looking out of the window a while
there was the ghost of a tennis court with faded markings and a sagging net
there was an empty swimming pool where so many silent movie stars of the past must have swum 10,000 midnights ago
and 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?
