Story Behind The Song

Her image young forever

Song Description

A song to recall Rita Hayworth

Lyrics

Rita Hayworth

Marguerita Carmen?s smile (my smile)
to drive the young men wild

a new star tinsel town
her story repeats right now (right now)

Jean Harlow may have come first (not first)
but Rita?s striking copper curls
her lips so red and full
and lovely latina eyes (my eyes)

Sexy rita/Sera siempre senor-rita

clad in negligee (I?d say)
your rival Betty Grable

starlets for the ages
Lana Turner at the Top Hat cafe (cafe)

Susan Hayward joined the fray (no way)
a smile that betrays

with her red hair rich and full

and parted low on the side (her style)

and then came Natalie Wood (so good)
the generation?s change

will the stars fade away
but nothing can ever change (my smile)

Lovely rita/Sera siempre senor-rita

they never made you shave your brow

but they used you just the same

then you had to change your name
to Rita Hayworth what a shame
Like many who would find

you married way too many times

and I cried when they?d say
your mind was going away
