(Shel Silverstein) I guess the dance is over now So you just curtsey and I'll bow And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne Then I'll just take what's left of me Right back to where it used to be And you'll go sail your magic carpet, far across the sky I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No you never got to hear those violins, no The castles that you built so high Were just too steep for me to climb And I guess these dirty streets of mine Were just too rough for you I wish I could've helped you see Just one of your sweet childhood dreams But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true And I wish I could have made it More like the movies for you Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins Did you girl? No you never got to hear those violins Oh I'm sorry when I kissed you You only heard me whisper You never got to hear those violins No you never got to hear those violins (c) 1976 Tro-Ess*x Music Ltd. --- More Like the Movies - Dr. Hook and Ray Sawyer
