Une vieille dame connue du monde entier
Est entrée un soir au cinéma du quartier
Le temps passe
Le temps passe
Elle voulait revoir près de quarante ans plus tard
Le grand film qui lui avait valu un oscar
Le temps passe
Le temps passe
En ce temps-là, elle était star,
Elle était belle
C'était le sommet de sa gloire
Universelle
Elle était comme une divinité,
Presque irréelle
Et la vieille dame connue du monde entier
En se voyant sur l'écran s'est mise à pleurer
Le temps passe
Le temps passe
Le coeur brisé de n'avoir plus
Ce qu'elle avait,
Beauté, jeunesse disparues
A tout jamais
L'ancienne star a quitté son fauteuil
Pour fuir son ombre
Quand elle est sortie, la vieille dame est tombée
Les journaux du soir n'en ont même pas parlé
Le temps passe
Le temps passe.
