The Greatest Star of All

一直很喜歡聽musical，Sunset Boulevard是其中偏愛的一套。故事頗傷感，但歌曲真在好聽。這張唱片遺失了一段時間，昨天無意中找回，連忙拿來聽......或許最近常常記掛alan，覺得劇中這首The Greatest Star of All很像他。我相信在八十年代，真會有人sacrifice themselves to touch his shadow！無論別人對他的評價如何，在我心中，也是跟歌詞一樣：I've seen so many idols fall, He is the greatest star of all!

The Greatest Star of All (From Sunset Boulevard)
Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyric: Don Black & Christopher Hampton
Once, you won't remember, if you said Hollywood,
Here was the face you'd think of,
Her face on every billboard, 
In just a single week she'd get ten thousand letters.
Men would offer fortune for a bloom from her corsage
Or a few strands of her hair.
Today she's half-forgotten, 
But it's the pictures that got small
She is the greatest star of all.
Then, you can't imagine,
How fans would sacrifice themselves to touch her shadow.
There was a Maharajah 
who hanged himself with one of her discarded stockings.
She's immortal caught inside that flickering light beam
Is the youth which cannot fade.
Madame's a living legend;
I've seen so many idols fall
She is the greatest star of all.
