Natalie Wood

No one knew

If her face was black and blue

When she hit the water

But it was when they dragged her out

Are the rumors true?

Did you see those empty bottles?

They had come to see what the fuss was all about

And every cop in town

Was her audience that night

They had come from all around

They heard she was famous

But you'd never know

Except her hair was perfect

And everyone kind of felt like movie stars

And they went home so impressed

By Natalie Wood

I'll see you in my dreams

Natalie Wood

Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen

Cut to the scene

She turned seventeen

And do you still believe

Everything that your mother told ya?

'Cause when you're born into this life

Reciting lines is a waste of time

Just go in there and close the door behind ya

And there's a world of difference

Between acing the audition

And doing whatever it takes to win the part

And all those other girls

Well they just had to listen

They knew it took more than kissing

If you want to break somebody's heart

Like Natalie Wood

I'll see you in my dreams

Natalie Wood

Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen

Doesn't matter who they're pointing at

'Cause the cameras always shine on you

Fifteen when you cut your pigtail

Washed up that twenty-two

Like Natalie Wood

I'll see you in my dreams

Natalie Wood

Dennis Hopper

James Dean

I'll see you in my dreams
