He was just a boy of seventeen and I was older by a year
We spent everything we ever made to get away from here
We got married in the winter time, at the open doors cafe
No matter how he tried he couldn't find the peace of mind to stay Oh, yeah

All the glitter out in Hollywood
All the stars that never shined
Well, it could hold the candle to you when
Could you roll me, roll me back in time?

I got a job and worked the early shift, I spent hours by the phone
Promises are easy to forget when there's too much time alone
But you've got something they can't argue with, that's what all the people say
He's just waiting for the obvious, his story is on his way any day

All the glitter out in Hollywood
All the stars that never shined
Well, it could hold the candle to you when
Could you roll me, could you roll me, could you roll me?

Just aside the sunrise, you can feel it in the air
That something's bound to happen, it's just right there
Everybody loves you, it's so easy to see, but it's only (but it's only)
Yeah, it's only (yeah, it's only) in your dreams

I woke up to find him standing there with his suitcase in his hand

All the glitter out in Hollywood
All the stars that never shined
Well, it could hold the candle to you when
Could you roll me, could you roll me?

All the glitter out in Hollywood
All the stars that never shined
Well, it could hold the candle to you when
Could you roll me, could you roll me, could you roll me? 
Roll me back in time?
