SO LONG AGO
© JOHN HACKETT  / 2010

VERSE:
Drive in movie so long ago
Hot night in July saw that dream in your eye
Staring at the silver screen of the picture show
I knew right then felt it begin
Caught up in make believe so easy to see
Fame and fortune calling you 
And You had to go

VERSE:
I had a different idea a whole other plan
Thinking more along the lines of a one life stand
Knew it would never work out if I stood in your way          
Held you so tight In the heat of that night
The thought of losing you girl left alone in this world
You know It crossed my mind a time or two to beg you to stay

CHORUS:
Did you find your dream in Hollywood
That glamorous life of celebrity hood
Or are you all alone at night when the lights are turned way down low
Do you ever  miss what you left behind
Do the beautiful people really treat you that kind
Is there any of the fire still burning from so long so long ago

VERSE:
Watched you last night on a late T.V. show
How I remember years ago September
Took you to the station down town to catch that train
So young and naive but you always believed
You would be a big star gonna' go far
Guess my sadness must have got lost in your hunger for fame

CHORUS:
Did you find your dream in Hollywood
That glamorous life of celebrity hood
Or are you all alone at night when the lights are turned way down low
Do you ever miss what you left behind
Do the beautiful people really treat you that kind
Is there any of the fire still burning from so long so long ago

CHORUS:
Did you find your dream in Hollywood
That glamorous life of celebrity hood
Or are you all alone at night when the lights are turned way down low
Do you ever miss what you left behind
Do the beautiful people really treat you that kind
Is there any of the fire still burning from so long so long ago

Is the fire still burning? yeah yeah yeah ... yeah yeah
