Can a person fall in love with a person from another place AND time, even if they never met before?

Arnie Stanton has been very involved in creating an eclectic musical blend of classical, electronic, rock, jazz, and other styles. Because of his wide musical background from training and listening, he tends to not stay long with one particular sound, mood, or feel. Arnie creates music meant to evoke deep emotions and strong visual imagery. His lyrics have spiritual overtones, sometimes comforting, but more often, challenging and ominous. He plays trombone, keyboards, sings, and usually talks in the first person, rather than third person tense, as he is doing here. :-) His base of operations is in Torrance, California.

Story behind the song
This song is basically about a quiet and lonely man, who regularly tries to escape his isolation by getting lost in movies that he sees out in the theatre. One day, the man is greatly suprised to find himself falling in love with a character in the movie. This is a love that cannot be for so many reasons, one being that this character is most likely not even alive, since we are talking about a very old movie. Thus, the character is not only foreign in geography, but also in time.
Lyrics
I went today to a matinee To see a song and dance or two I simply adored the movie score The action and Italian view Then someone caught my eye in the chorus line A star that shined and claimed my heart She sang a simple line as she danced in time But I didn't know her name She near got a real chance at fame But her eyes, those two eyes They lifted me up, and took me by suprise Love in a Foreign Movie To trust in the message before me I may simply find a way to fulfill this dream I stood outside the door of the lobby floor No need to consider a second reel To see her in the height of the theatre lights If she only knew the way I feel Then something in my mind made me feel so good This girl is just the one for me Within I felt so sure that my love was real How could I ever let her see? Would she ever give an inch to a smile, the way I say, "hello?" Tell me, how do I begin (to capture her heart) Please let this dreamer win It seems I'm in love with a Foreign Movie star Who doesn't even know that I'm alive But I'd follow her all over the world If she let me just be with her How could any other love you The way that I do right now I'm in love with a Foreign Movie star Just a glance will chase the gloom away And I'd follow her all over the world When she invites me to be with her How could any other love you The way that I do right now
