Sunset Boulevard

I said “I know you, you used to be big”
She said “I still am, it’s the movies got small”
She said “I recall, they took the idols and smashed them all
Now when you look at the stars, they don’t seem to shine anymore”

Ch
And this is my life and it always will be
Nothing else, just the cameras and me
And I did it all, to the last curtain call
Do you think they'll still HEAR me
Mr De Mille

She was a beauty queens, up there on the silver screens
Flickering images played to the eyes of the world
She didn’t need dialogue, just one look and she said it all
Now she can’t even bear to look at herself anymore


Ch

Do you think they'll BELIEVE me 
Mr De Mille

Instrumental

They want me as Salome, they can’t let it end this way
All those wonderful people standing out there in the dark
And to the crowd that she craved, she curtsied and waved
Do you think they'll believe me Mr De Mille”

Ch

And said “I’m ready for my close up Mr De Mille
