They were so much in love with life, happy in every way But love the movie began with, some how got lost in the play Like a fire burning out of control, You got caught up in the actor's role, And you cried on my shoulder when it came to an end But that's all in the movies, It won't happen to you and I That's all in the movies so baby don't cry It's all in the movies It won't happen to us I know It's all in the movies, Just a bad picture show That's all in the movies It won't happen to you and I That's all in the movies so baby don't cry It's all in the movies It can happen to us I know It's all in the movies, Just a bad picture show
