DR. HOOK
- More Like The Movies Lyrics / with translationsI guess the dance is over now
So you just curtsey 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
I wish 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 coulda 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 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
So you just curtsey 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
I wish 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
I wish I coulda 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 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
