Sunset Boulevard - Greatest Star of All Lyrics |
Broadway revival 2017 Sunset Boulevard the Musical - Greatest Star of All Lyrics
"Greatest Star of All" is a song from Sunset Boulevard the musical performed by Fred Johanson as (Max).
MAX Once, you won't remember If you said Hollywood, hers was the face you'd think of Her face on every billboard In just a single week, she's get ten thousand letters
Men would offer Fortunes 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 a youth which cannot fade
Madame's a living legend; I've seen so many idols fall She is the greatest star of all
JOE (V.O.) When he'd gone, I stook looking out the window for a while. There was the ghost of a tennis court with faded markings and a sagging net. There was an empty pool where Clara Bows and Fatty Arbuckle must have swum 10,000 midnights ago. And then there was something else: the chimp's last rites, as if she were laying a child to rest. Was her life really as empty as that?
