Lyrics

WHEN YOU'RE A MILLIONAIRE

Lyrics by Paull Luscher and Jeffrey Gold
Music by Jeffrey Gold and Paul Luscher

Stepped down from the café
into the street
where you were standing
waiting for me

So I'm a Millionaire
does anyone really care?
and who can you trust?
when you're a millionaire
you can be anything

Too little time
it's taken me where
I'm walking alone again
but you're so beautiful
and I know where to go

This was your world
came home a roaming soul
let's you know what to do
and you let me cry for once
here in your darkness
who can you trust?
It's a willing fool

When you're a millionaire
does anyone really care?

Breaking your heart
Saying I love
Just to make love again
Take you and drink your life
Mirror your glistening eyes

Slipshod smiles in a magazine
Back-lit love on the silver screen
Grasping at mist from a rainy day
The limo door slams and they drive away

Not sure I felt what you said to me
Gargoyle eyes never let me see
You caught me in a state of grace
When you turned your head and saw my face
For the last time

You stand in the street
you can say you don't wait
and the victory's yours again

You stand alone
no one takes the growing fear
no one takes you home
no one is unhappy
you're on your own again

It's not for all
?cause I need you here
will you say anything?
give up on everything?

When you're a millionaire
Is anyone really there?
