She had stars in her eyes In her dreams every night So she packed her bags And took a ride out to Hollywood She took the town by storm Another star was born Now she don't come back here to see us anymore From Hollywood, California She's up there on the silver screen Her face in every magazine She said she'd never make it But I knew she would In Hollywood, California I wonder if she thinks of me And how good we used to be But then why would she where life's so good In Hollywood, California I thought for sure we'd settle down Right here in our home town Find ourselves a little house And raise a family Oh but she had other plans She loved to sing and dance And there's just some things you can't do here That I guess you can in Hollywood, California She's up there on the silver screen Her face in every magazine She said she'd never make it But I knew she would In Hollywood, California I wonder if she thinks of me And how good we used to be But then why would she where life's so good In Hollywood, California She called me last night She said I know it's past midnight But could you be on the next flight Cuz I need you here I need to feel you near I've cried so many tears since I came To Hollywood, California All of my sweetest dreams They don't mean anything Oh if you're not here with me In Hollywood, California Hollywood, California
