Musicals - Sunset Boulevard - New Ways To Dream (Reprise) Lyrics
JOEWhat's the matter there, Max? You waiting to wash the car?MAXPlease be careful when you cross the patio. Madame may be watching.JOESuppose I tiptoe up the back stairs and get undressed in the dark, will that do it?MAXIt's just that I am greatly worried about Madame.JOEWell, we're not helping any, feeling her lies, more lies.What's going to happen when she finds out they're not going to make her picture?MAXShe never will. That is my job.I made her a star and I will never let her be destroyed.JOEYou made her a star?MAXI directed all her early pictures. In those days,There were three young directors who showed promise: D.W. Griffith, Cecil B. DeMille and --JOEMax von Mayerling.MAXThat's right.When we met, she was a childBarely sixteenAwkward and yet, she had an airI've never seenI knew I'd found my perfect faceDeep in her eyesNew ways to dreamAnd we inspiredNew ways to dreamTalkies came; I stayed with her, took up this lifeThrew away famePlease understandShe was my wifeWe had achieved far more than mostWe gave the world new ways to dreamEveryone needs new ways to dreamJOEAre you saying you were married to her?MAXI was the first husband.So I play this gameKeeper of the flameSharing with her one last dreamDon't you think I knew it never could come true?She'll be the very last one to surrenderI will not allow her to surrender
