She locks the bedroom door - Lies face down on the bed

 Hears voices down the hall - are they real or in her head

 Pictures on the wall - reminders every one

 Just memories of the past - of a time that's

 Been and gone

 All those wild and crazy nights - they still

 Dance before her eyes

 (Those crazy nights - her name in lights)



 Look at her now the golden days are over

 Look at her now no leading man to hold her

 She was one in a million now she's that

 Forgotten face

 Look at her now the golden days are over

 

 Applauded by the press - an overnight success

 A favourite with the fans - had them eating

 From her hands

 But stars fall from the sky - in the twinkle

 Of an eye

 There's no more silver screen just another

 Broken dream

 Still she strikes a classic pose - just in case

 The cameras roll

 (She steals the scene - relieves the dream)



 Look at her now the golden days are over

 Look at her now no leading man to hold her

 She was one in a million now she's that

 Forgotten face

 Look at her now she needs someone to hold her 

 To feed her lines - someone to co-star

 Someone to shine

 

 Look at her now the golden days are over

 (The golden days are over - they're over)

 Look at her now no leading man to hold her

 (No M.G.M. - no Paramount - no 20th Century)

 Look at her now the golden days are over

 (Decline and fall - no curtain call)
