one night in hollywood lyrics
well i met her down at jacksons
that’s a bar at the end of my street
where the lonely*hearted congregate
and two fools on a bar stool meet
and she wore a mink from 1924
she gave me a smile
she said it helped her remember
when she was poor
and before she had starred, yeah

she said in a past life
she was the queen of egypt
or maybe once a millionairess
but this time around
it’s the kingdom of hollywood
of which i am thе fairest

she said maybe you’vе seen me at the movies
and maybe on the screen
but right now i’m taken it easy
right now i’m in a dream

but i’ll take another drink, she said
and she lit a cigarette
and the pause in our conversation
gave her time to forget
then she looked at me through those masked eyes and said
they just don’t realise
i can’t go on forever
i can’t go on forever
and someday i’ll be gone

and all those fan letters
they sure do take their toll
and my agent i finally had on the table
but i’ll take another drink, she said
and make it a double this time
and a big hand slipped passed twelve
and a clock began to chime
oh, i must have my rest
oh, the pressure’s great
and all the best

and i can’t go on forever
i can’t go on forever
and someday i’ll be gone

i bought her another drink
and i kissed her on the cheek
and she drank it down
and she stumbled to her feet

well it was the performance of a lifetime
and we stood and gave a hand
to the greatest star in hollywood
to the greatest star in all the land
oh, i’ve got to go, she said
my limo waits for me
and i watched her through the window
as she walked silently down the street

and her words keep echoing
i can’t go on forever
i can’t go on forever
for someday i’ll be gone

i can’t go on forever
i can’t go on forever
and someday i’ll be gone
