This Only Happens in the Movies by Kerry Butler 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

Fate doesn't work like in the movies
Love never enters right on cue
Strangers don't meet like this
And get swept off their feet like this
The way movies say they always do

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

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
