Sunset Boulevard

When I met you in the summer, it was a beautiful day
Holding hands and laughing, we both were carried away
You smelled so good and felt so soft, the sun shining in your eyes
I whispered "I love you" as we stood side by side

It was a classic story, the best we could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
The classic story... we played our parts
Framed and lit on the screen, on Sunset Boulevard

When I lost you, it was winter. I stood in the freezing rain
Emptied out and crying as you drove away
A piercing sound as the light died in my eyes
I called out "I need you" as you left me behind

It was a tragic story, it was all I could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
It was a tragic story... we played our parts
Framed and glued to the screen on Sunset Boulevard

And I found you in the autumn at a party in L.A.
High in the hills, passing out, looking a little dazed
Staggering in the bathroom with stars in your eyes
You told me you still wanted me as I slowly backed away

It's the same old hackneyed story... it was all I could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
The same old classic story, we play our parts
Framed and pinned to the screen on Sunset Boulevard
