Beneath the shadow late at night She stands alone and wonders why The music stops and all the crowds have gone She was really something then, The days when she could dance and she could sing like a bird. Pouring out another glass, she wandered down that road too fast And all at once the dreams she had were gone Night after night they called her name, the price of fame. But now when she needs them, no-one cares. It was a love affair she feels cheated in every way Life's great love affair Oh how the stars can sometimes fall Oh sweet love affair Now the timing just ain't right. Life's great love affair is just about over Golden dreams of yesteryear They are covered by a veil of tears And suddenly the curtain seems to fall Night after night they called her name, the price of fame. But now when she needs them, no-one cares. It was a love affair she feels cheated in every way Life's great love affair Oh how the stars can sometimes fall Oh sweet love affair Now the timing just ain't right. Life's great love affair is just about over She may stumble and fall As the bright lights of gold still call And the crowd trickles by But her make up feels too hide The fading of time she cries It was a love affair or how she loved to tell Life's great love affair And for a time of love excel One great love affair Now that old ones cry Now that little love affair will never die Will never die Will never die Will never die.
