As I watch you watch the screen cinema tonight
Reflections on her face change with the light
The glitter tears become her
They show me all I need
Tonight you'll be my starlet
Tonight you'll steal the scene

Flash the camera fire
Embrace it with your arms
Takes a story farther tonight oh
Pretend I'm not pretending
Pretend I can't be scene
And I'll you in the ending
The end-ing of a dream

Of cinematic light
Of cinematic night
I've seen them all before
But never like tonight
When you drifted off the screen
And stepped into my life
I've found a reason to be real
A reason I can feel inside tonight

And I'm sinking with the sweet scenes blinking in my head
I'll tell you all about them
Don't go oh-oh-ho
The credits fade to darkness
The lightness of our love
No image can replace you
From on the screen above

Of cinematic light
Of cinematic night
I've seen them all before
But never like tonight
When you drifted off the screen
And stepped into my life
I've found a reason to be real
A reason I can feel inside tonight

Slapped by all the colors and the light
Saw you in the cinema tonight
I know my line's to say I'm fine
I'm trying to say goodnight

When the sun goes down at night
I'll say goodnight to all my thoughts
So tired of all these wasted lights
And sounds that surround my days
My days
