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
