Lyrics
Marlene
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
His eyes follow her as she moves across the room
Marlene, my love, you were born too soon
Running his fingers through her hair
Across her face to her lips so fine
He said, "Another place, another time, you could be mine"
Marlene, if I could have you here like that
Let one dream in my life come true
But the hands of time just won't turn back
So what remains is just my dream
And I wish you all the best Marlene
If he only had the chance to be in her movie scene
He would show her how to love, Marlene,
He would be her leading man in the truest love story
Anyone in the world had seen
It's the flower in her soul
In her eyes she holds
And she'll always be his queen
Marlene, if I could have you here like that
Let one dream in my life come true
But the hands of time just won't turn back
So what remains is just my dream
And I wish you all the best
Marlene if I could have you here like that
Let one dream in my life come true
But the hands of time just won't turn back
So what remains is just my dream
And I wish you all the best Marlene
