Greatest Star of All (Reprise) Lyrics > Sunset Boulevard

NORMA
This was dawn
I don't know why I'm frightened
Silent music stars to play
Happy New Year, darling.

If you're with me, next year will be...
Next year will be...
They bring in his head on a silver tray
She kisses his mouth...
She kisses his mouth...
Mad about the boy!
They'll say Norma's back at last!

MAX
Madame, the cameras have arrived.

NORMA
Max, where am I?

MAX
This is the staircase of the palace
And they're waiting for your dance

NORMA
Of course, now I remember
I was so frightened I might fall...

MAX
You are the greatest star of all!

Lights!
Cameras!
Action!

NORMA
When he scored me I
Knew he'd have to die
Let me kiss his severed head
Compromise or death
He fought to his last breath
He never had it in him to surrender
Just like me, he never could surrender

I can't go on with the scene; I'm too happy. May I say a few words, Mr. DeMille?
I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be back in the studio making a picture.
I promise you I'll never desert you again. This is my life. It always will be.
There's nothing else. Just us and the cameras and all you wonderful
people out there in the dark. And now, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.

This time I'm staying
I'm staying for good
I'll be back where I was born to be
With one look, I'll be me
