Beauty Fades

Maybe she was one once

Do i see my future in her

presence

I can't stop staring

A shopping cart is

all she has now

And a bleeding heart never paid the bills

and

Beauty fades

Down on sunset boulevard

No

one stops to look at her

No one notices her figure

Men

once fought to get her name

Her hair was long and colored

blonde

Her lashes curled up to the sun

With black

mascara

Ooh, keep your feet focussed forward on the

sidewalk

On the stars

On another day

Cause

beauty fades

Like the sun in march like the rain in

may

Beauty fades

Like the secret truth of a summer

day

Beauty fades

I like to drive into the hills of

laurel canyon

I like the houses and the trees

I like the

money in my bank account

And it's running out

But

i'll worry about that another day

As beauty

fades

Ooh, people they don't want you when

you're ugly

After they've taken everything you had

to offer

Away away away

Ya beauty fades

Like

the sun in march like the rain in may

Beauty fades

Like

the secret truth of a summer day

Beauty

fades

Summertime i watch the girls go by

Dressed in

their summer clothes

Maybe there's another truth

awaiting them

I will never know

They wait they

wait

They are waiting for someone to say

I choose

you

And then carry them away carry them away

Away away

away

Ya beauty fades

Like the sun in march like the

rain in may

Beauty fades

Like the secret truth of a

summer day

Beauty fades

Beauty fades

And pretty

girls do what you can while you're still pretty

The

lines around the eyes are the to show

So hide your

age

Gracefully...
