There are stars on the sidewalks of HollywoodFootprints and names in cementThe palm trees and moors and the summersEven your dreams could inventThe sun sets like one dying emberMy, how the time passes slowAnd soon you forget to rememberRememberYou think it's heaven, I knowBut Hollywood smilesLike a movie starPlaying the part of a friendAnd Hollywood smilesAnd you never knowWhether it's real or pretendChasing your dream round the bendThey call this the city of angelsA mecca of fortune and fameThe pot at the end of the rainbowSure beats the coldAnd the rainAnd everyone here loves a winnerMan, when you're down, you're aloneSo show me some light, just a glimmerDon't let me die an unknownOh, Hollywood smilesLike a movie starPlaying the part of a friendAnd Hollywood smilesAnd you never knowWhether it's real or pretendChasing your dream round the bendOh, Hollywood smilesLike a movie starPlaying the part of a friendAnd Hollywood smilesAnd you never knowWhether it's real or pretend
