The Movies

Today I went down to the movies To see a script played out on screen Watching the black and white pictures Moving in sweet harmony Fountains of blue and green color Wrapped in a circular tube Slowly start splotching the edges A figure forms back in the view And I start wondering Whose feature I'm seeing The sound that I hear in the scriptwriter's ear Sings a soundtrack to light up the room When the star of the show shows her beautiful glow I'm the happiest co-star to you Today I went down to the movies To watch a life played out on screen I thought it was mine I was viewing Until you appeared next to me Stealing the limelight with radiance so bright I can't turn away from the plot What happens next all in good time I guess A thriller and romance in a melting pot And I start realizing Whose feature I'm seeing The sound that I hear in the scriptwriter's ear Sings a soundtrack to light up the room When the star of the show shows her beautiful glow I'm the happiest co-star to you There's nothing better than playing out written words That we're forming as we go You take the lead I follow happily Through this fairy tale that we're crafting And I start realizing It's our feature we're seeing The sound that I hear in the scriptwriter's ear Sings a soundtrack to light up the room When the star of the show shows her beautiful glow I'm the happiest co-star to you Today I went down to the movies To see a script played out on screen Then you walked into the feature A better film there couldn't be
