The Greatest Star Of All

The Greatest Star Of All - Andrew Lloyd Webber (安德魯·勞埃德·韋伯)/Daniel Benzali

Written by：Andrew Lloyd Webber

Once you won't remember if you said Hollywood

Hers was the face you'd think of

Her face on every billboard

In just a single week she'd get ten thousand letters

Men would offer fortunes for a bloom from her corsage

Or a few strands of her hair

Today she's half forgotten

But it's the pictures that got small

She is the greatest star of all

Then you can't imagine

The way fans sacrificed themselves to touch her shadow

There was a maharajah

Who hanged himself with one of her discarded stockings

She's immortal caught inside that flickering light beam

Is a youth which cannot fade

Madame's a living legend

I've seen so many idols fall

She is the greatest star of all

When he'd gone

I stood looking out the window for a while

There was the ghost of a tennis court with faded marking

And a sagging net

There was an empty pool

Where clara bow and fatty arbuckle must have swum 10000 midnights ago

And then there was something else

The chimp's last rites as if she were laying a child to rest

Was her life really as empty as that
