This Only Happens in the Movies Lyrics
This only happens in the movies
Life's not this perfect off the screen
Stars never gleam so bright
And nights never seem so right
Except in the movies that I've seen

Love never enters right on cue
Strangers don't meet like this
And get swept off their feet like this

Somehow this moon is too enchanting
Somehow this moment's too ideal
Somehow this moonlight we're enthralled to

For this only happens in the movies
So this can only be pretend
But if this is my chance
The prelude to a new romance
Let's hope that it has a happy end
A Hollywood, platinum, stardust, happy end
