Silver Screen

A stage star light across your face, Hides the gloom You carry the weight of the room The embrace of midnight, Ignites a fire The world is warmed by your desire Blown in the wind lies the stories you told, From the London streets, To halls of gold The silence pastures in your memories, You have always got a friend in me Did you know you’re the dream they all chase? Your name’s a song all hearts retrace Golden moments in the moon’s silent gleam, We see you shining on the silver screen Beyond the roles, the masks and the fame, There’s a soul untouched, By love’s disgrace A gentle smile, or a poignant tear, Through your silence we hear you clear Through every role you’ve made, Young hearts yearn You taught the world to discern You’re not just a face, but a spirit, Who flies High above the scripted skies Did you know you’re the dream they all chase? Your name’s a song all hearts retrace Captured moments in the moon’s silent gleam, We see you shining on the silver screen You shine on the silver screen, High above Heaven’s scripted skies, To our hearts, you did fly Silent moments in the moon’s crystal gleam, Sharing smiles on the silver screen
