Shel Silverstein
More Like the Movies
[Verse 1]
I guess the dance is over now, so you just curtsy, and I'll bow
And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne
And I'll just take what's left of me, right back to where it used to be
And you'll go sail your magic carpet far across the sky

[Chorus]
I wish I could have made it more like the movies for ya
Some pretty Technicolor way that's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you, you only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins, did ya girl?
No you never got to hear those violins, no

[Verse 2]
The castles that you built so high, were just too steep for me to climb
And I guess these dirty streets of mine, were just to rough for you
I wish I could'a helped you see just one of your sweet childhood dreams
But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true

[Chorus]
And I wish I could've made it more like the movies for ya
Some pretty Technicolor way that's never been
I'm sorry when I kissed you, you only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins, did ya girl?
No you never got to hear those violins
[Outro]
Ohh-ohh, I'm sorry when I kissed you, you only heard me whisper
You never got to hear those violins
No, you never got to hear those violins
