Rock, acoustic rock

Music has always been a very important part of my life. I believe that each of us have two very distinct personalities that wrestle within us. Music is my way of excercising the more creative personality in myself. It allows me to release the burdens of life the other accumulates.

Story behind the song

I had just recently seen a movie with Grace Kelly in it and was stunned at how beautiful she was.

Lyrics

She bats her eyes and walks away as the subtle hues fade into gray
And the silver screen that she once graced is nothing but a wisp.

And all these nights I stayed awake with the pale blue light my TV made
Hoping she would just once say I’m the leading man she missed

And I think I’m wishing on a star
That burned out long before my time
And I know it’s way too far
For her to reach my heart this time
So I’ll see you any way, at the Sunday matinee, I’m fine.

Still my life goes on it’s just the same by the corner store that bears your name
As the broken man in the pouring rain smiles like he is missed

But all these things you left me with are nothing like that one last kiss
The epitaph of golden years, now the sun peeks through the shades

And I think I’m wishing on a star
That burned out long before my time
And I know it’s way too far
For her to reach my heart this time
So I’ll see you any way, at the Sunday matinee, I’m fine.

So on and on the story goes
This love affair that no one knows
In Hollywood it goes to show, it goes to show
That it’s always make believe

So now I’ll wave goodbye and bid farewell and though it’s truly sad it’s just as well
Cause no one here is laughing still or singing in the rain

And as the credits roll I wonder if you’re looking down and checking in
Making sure you didn’t win the award for stolen fame

And I think I’m wishing on a star
That burned out long before my time
And I know it’s way too far
For her to reach my heart this time
So I’ll see you any way, at the Sunday matinee, I’m fine.

And I think I’m wishing on a star
That burned out long before my time
And I know it’s way too far
For her to reach my heart this time
So I’ll see you any way, at the Sunday matinee, I’m fine.
