	作词 : Taylor
	Ronnie stood beneath the movie marquee
	His memories all curled up inside
	He was trying to remember
	was it August or September
	He'd seen her for the last time
	He'd heard that she'd become an actress
	Lord, she always had the prettiest face
	And he stood with his hands
	in his pockets and waited
	For the dollar matinee
	Lord, she's bigger than life on the screen
	There's a laugh from the balcony, good Lord
	And the sun will burn you and blind you
	When you step back into the street
	The theater, she smelled so familiar
	She was a smokey old velvet delight
	Yes, and he sat down front
	just like he'd always done
	With his feet hanging out in the aisles
	And he watched her with eyes disbelieving
	Felt something like time on his brain
	And he told himself
	don't you remember it's only
	Just a part that she's playing
	Lord, she's bigger than life on the screen
	There's a laugh from the balcony, good Lord
	And the sun will burn you and blind you
	When you step back into the street
	She stood by some window in Paris
	While the captions translated the scene
	Oh, and Ronnie stared back
	at her body and breathed
	"Christ, that's the first time I've seen it!"
	Behind him the people were leaving
	Well, the busses, they were humming outside
	But old Ronnie never went
	to the movies unless
	He could stay and see it twice
	Lord, she's bigger than life on the screen
	There's a laugh from the balcony, good Lord
	And the sun will burn you and blind you
	When you step back into the street
