More Like The Movies Lyrics - Timeless - Dr. Hook

(Shel Silverstein) 

I guess the dance is over now 

So you just curtsey and I'll bow 

And ask the band to play us Auld Lang Syne 

Then 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 

I wish I could have made it 

More like the movies for you 

Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been 

I'm sorry when I kissed you 

You only heard me whisper 

You never got to hear those violins 

Did you girl? 

No you never got to hear those violins, no 

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 too rough for you 

I wish I could've helped you see 

Just one of your sweet childhood dreams 

But though I tried I could not make not one of them come true 

And I wish I could have made it 

More like the movies for you 

Some pretty Technicolor way it's never been 

I'm sorry when I kissed you 

You only heard me whisper 

You never got to hear those violins 

Did you girl? 

No you never got to hear those violins 

Oh 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
