We met in a flashback
starrin' only you
a Hollywood flashback
made me feel so blue
a Hollywood flashback
just the two of us
and a movie soundtrack, make up
you looked so good in close up
in Hollywood, in Hollywood
You and me, like in a movie
we used to love in slow motion
in the golden sunset
of a Hollywood, film set
you and me, like in a movie
blendin' actin' and clever lightin'
Oscar winnin' performance
almost a true romance
Celluloid darling
in an open car
cameras are rolling
Sunset Boulevard
a Hollywood flashback
alive on the screen
love is like a flashback, a dream
for a lonely movie queen
throwin' you, in my arms
was a touch, of clever casting
You and me, like in a movie
we both demanded top billing
me in my false eyelashes
you in your fake, moustache
you and me, like in a movie
we're kissing in Technicolor
sleepin' in day for night
make believe tears, and phony fights
We met in a Hollywood flashback...
