Sergio Mendes - Life In The Movies

Let me introduce to you, a story that may startle you
Take a chair, you better sit right down
It started in its usual way, a day like any day in my life
But suddenly it occurred to me
Things weren't what they seemed to be
I felt a presence in the room
Shadowed image in a chair
I couldn't see his face at all
Slowly he turned his head
And his word for word
What exactly he said
That's life in the movies
You can be just what you want to be
Life in the movies
Fantasy is the reality
I recognized him right away, the top hat was the give-away
As he danced from room to room
Then suddenly, to my surprise, his face became a hundred stars
I didn't come to haunt you, mesmerize or taunt you
You don't have to be afraid
It'll make it, don't worry, don't take things so seriously
The truth is that life's a stage
You are the star if you learn how to play
That's life in the movies
You can be just what you want to be
Life in the movies
Fantasy is the reality
He vanished before my eyes
I wouldn't believe but the note in my hand said
Life in the movies
You can be just what you want to be
That's life in the movies
Fantasy is the reality
That's life in the movies
You can be just what you want to be
Life in the movies
Fantasy is the reality
That's life in the movies
You can be just what you want to be
That's life in the movies
Fantasy is the reality
That's a life in a movie
You can be just what you want to be
That's a life in a movie
