Hollywood Lady

Hollywood Lady
(Sedaka/Greenfield)

She lives in a pink stucco palace
A fortress where time never dies
Keeping the pieces of yesterday
Far from the world outside.

In a room tucked away from the sunlight
Unspooling the dreams of the past
With a mirror she stole from a fairy tale
The world doesn't spin so fast.

She's a Hollywood Lady
A Hollywood Lady
Keepin' the secret you'll never know.
She wants you to remember
The way you used to love her
With the face she wore a long time ago.

In a world that was built on illusion
We start to dream when we're young
Panning for gold from a silver screen
Where the dreams were strung.

I remember the first time I saw her
Love came to me on that day.
And that moment will always be frozen in time
She'll always be that way.

She's a Hollywood Lady
A Hollywood Lady
Keepin' the secret you'll never know.
She wants you to remember
The way you used to love her
With the face she wore a long time ago.
