It was late at night when somebody tried
To remember me as I walked by
And the city lights were fading fast
Lost between the stars
I was walking down through the middle of town
And nobody else gazed with a smile
When the shadows of the TV sets
Fell right into my arms
In the spotlight of an old cafe
A woman starts to cry
And Picasso could’ve painted her
Her tears seem so dry
In the sadness of a cardboard bed
A little boy dreams well
As if the Sunday News below his head
Could keep him out of hell
I can say love… exists in the movies
Yes, love… it’s such a funny thing
I was lost in time trying to find some embrace
But the night was so dark
And the people seems to fill the place
But no one seems to mind
I was desperate for something to keep me apart
From the distant grief of their eyes
So the calling of a neon sign
Brought me back to life
My eyes were changed whithin a flash
And everything seemed so bright
The forgotten fragments of life
Became a sign of better times
And the colors of the rainbow were
Projected into my life
The lover’s faces made me aware
Of darkness all around
I can say love… exists… just in the movies
Yes, love… it’s such a funny thing
In the foggy shade of movie lights
You never saw the rain, oh boy,
I’ve come around to show how your soul is gone
When nature calls upon your door
You try to praise the lord, sweet boy,
I’ve come around to show you how my spirit’s grown
I can say love… sits in the movies
Yes, love… it’s such a funny thing
