When the wonder is over No more laugh lines to trace around my eyes I see no way will I hold her Like the cinema told me to try Lulu when I look at you I see no chance of pushing through And I must be the one to say goodnight For all our technicolor dreams Our names aren't rolling down the screen Some wishes made are wises left behind She kissed me so sweetly And she promised me nothing but sweetness to last Now I'm seeing in color Our film full of color now I'm striking that match Lulu when I look at you I see no chance of pushing through And I must be the one to say goodnight For all our technicolor dreams Our names aren't rolling down the screen Some wishes made are wises left behind Never quite vivid enough dear To ever have me stay Will you write me in color? So when they read my name They see me in color Like you saw me every day
