The Greatest Star of All Songtext
von Andrew Lloyd Webber
The Greatest Star of All Songtext
Once, you won′t remember, if you said Hollywood,
Her's was the face you′d think of,
Her face on every billboard,
In just a single week she'd get ten thousand letters.
Men would offer fortune for a bloom from her corsage Or a few strands of her hair.
Today she's half-forgotten,
But it′s the pictures that got small
She is the greatest star of all.
Then, you can′t imagine,
How fans would sacrifice themselves to touch her shadow.
There was a Maharajah
who hanged himself with one of her discarded stockings.
She's immortal caught inside that flickering light beam
Is the youth which cannot fade.
Madame′s a living legend;
I've seen so many idols fall
She is the greatest star of all.
Her's was the face you′d think of,
Her face on every billboard,
In just a single week she'd get ten thousand letters.
Men would offer fortune for a bloom from her corsage Or a few strands of her hair.
Today she's half-forgotten,
But it′s the pictures that got small
She is the greatest star of all.
Then, you can′t imagine,
How fans would sacrifice themselves to touch her shadow.
There was a Maharajah
who hanged himself with one of her discarded stockings.
She's immortal caught inside that flickering light beam
Is the youth which cannot fade.
Madame′s a living legend;
I've seen so many idols fall
She is the greatest star of all.
