"As If We Never Said Goodbye" lyrics - PETULA CLARK

[From "Sunset Boulevard"]

I don't know why I'm frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted seas,
The sound here
Yes a world to rediscover
But I'm not in any hurry
And I need a moment

The whispered conversations
In over-crowded hallways
The atmosphere, as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why everything's as if we never said goodbye

I've spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you
I'm trembling now you can't know how
I've missed you
Missed the fairy-tale adventures
In this ever spinning playground
We were young together

I'm coming out of make-up
The lights already burning
Not long until the cameras will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making
Yes everything's as if we never said goodbye

I don't want to be alone
That's all in the past
This world's waited long enough
I've come home at last

And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it
So watch me fly we all know I can do it
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment
With so much to live for?

The whispered conversations
In over-crowded hallways
So much to say not just today but always
We'll have early morning madness
We'll have magic in the making
Yes everything's as if we never said goodbye
Yes everything's as if we never said goodbye
We taught the world
New ways to dream
