cliff richard and the shadows
the golden days are over
She locks the bedroom door - Lies face down on the bed Hears voices down the hall - are they real or in her head Pictures on the wall - reminders every one Just memories of the past - of a time that's Been and gone All those wild and crazy nights - they still Dance before her eyes (Those crazy nights - her name in lights) Look at her now the golden days are over Look at her now no leading man to hold her She was one in a million now she's that Forgotten face Look at her now the golden days are over Applauded by the press - an overnight success A favourite with the fans - had them eating From her hands But stars fall from the sky - in the twinkle Of an eye There's no more silver screen just another Broken dream Still she strikes a classic pose - just in case The cameras roll (She steals the scene - relieves the dream) Look at her now the golden days are over Look at her now no leading man to hold her She was one in a million now she's that Forgotten face Look at her now she needs someone to hold her To feed her lines - someone to co-star Someone to shine Look at her now the golden days are over (The golden days are over - they're over) Look at her now no leading man to hold her (No M.G.M - no Paramount - no 20th Century) Look at her now the golden days are over (Decline and fall - no curtain call)
