Garbo
She had exquisite style
She was upper class
She had supernatural grace
A mlange of aphrodite and venus
Combined with an angels face
She didnt talk to the press
She couldnt care less
She didnt even answer the phone
She said on one occasion, without persuasion:
I want to be left alone
From this moment on, from dusk till dawn
Till the end of time, Ill be with you
Youll be with me, forever in my mind
Its you I see before me, oh oh, garbo
Cest toi que je tadore, oh oh, garbo
A lovers greatest story, oh oh, garbo
They say well thats amore! oh oh, garbo
People say on the day of victory, no fatigue is felt
Garbo, its you that has the power
That makes evry mans heart melt
They say that, when the heart is a fire
Sparks fly out of the cage but beauty is like a good wine,
The taste is sweeter with age
No man can guess in cold blood
What he might do in passion
But the things that he deplores today
Are tomorrows latest fashion
Serving ones own passion
Is the greatest slavery
But if in wanting you
I become your slave
I intend no bravery
From this moment on, from dusk till dawn
Till the end of time, Ill be with you
Youll be with me, forever in my mind
Its you I see before me...
....garbo

Right Before Your Eyes
Every day i sit beside you
On the bus to madison avenue
Work in the big gray store
With the revolving doors
You don't even know my name
I guess that i'm to blame
Don't know the right things to say
So i pretend away
That i'm rudolph valentino
Pull up in my limousine
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain
Things'll never be the same
And then just like greta garbo
You stare like there's no tomorrow
And you'll know what i'm thinking of
Right before your eyes i fall in love with you
Do, do, do ...
Today i'm done with games (today i'm done with games)
Gonna ask you for your name
Say i've been watching you
I even know what you do
Maybe today i'll tell you (maybe today i'll tell you)
I've found the nerve to sell you
On a guy like me
Who wishes that he could be
Your rudolph valentino
Pull up in my limousine
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain
Things'll never be the same
And then just like greta garbo
You stare like there's no tomorrow
And you'll know what i'm thinking of
Right before your eyes i fall in love with you
Do, do, do ...
Right before your eyes i fall in love with you
Right before my eyes you'll say you love me to
Rudolph valentino
I pull up in my limousine
Oh, won't you come in out of the rain
Things'll never be the same
And then just like greta garbo
You stare like there's no tomorrow
And you'll know what i'm thinking of, oo
Do, do, do ...

Garbo Speaks
I’d worked late each night that summer,
I had some free cash in Eighty Nine.
So, it was only natural
when I needed to unwind.
I’d grab a meal and have a glass
(or two) till final call
Then show up in the morning for
my stint at Broad and Wall.
The Blue bar at the Algonquin
was always my first choice.
Steve Ross was singing in the oak room,
I recall his lovely voice.
The bartender and the waiters
knew my wants without a word.
As I waited for my supper
a distinctive voice was heard.
Even in her eighties, Garbo struck a
regal tone.
Despite cancer's indignities
She would have honored any throne.
.
She knew I’d recognized her,
though I never said her name.
I 'd been just a child when she
had her last brush with fame.
She knew me from the brokerage house
Her account was with my boss.
We’d sometimes spoken on the phone
about a gain or loss.
I asked if she would like a drink
when next the barkeep came.
She eyed the Bourbon in my glass
and said “I’ll have the same.”
We were two people, both alone,
She famous, me, obscure.
For me it was her solitude
that acted as a lure.
I knew she’d never married
though there were lovers and affairs.
It was as if the single life
was answer to her prayers.
“You know I never really said:
‘I want to be alone.’
Its just I knew I had the strength
to be out on my own.”
She knew I had just lost my Dad,
The pain was very keen.
She said “I lost my Father back
when I was seventeen.”.
“I appreciate your kindness...
It‘s going to take some time.”
“If you know where your heart lies, ”
She said, ” You’re going to be fine.”
I paid the bill and we stepped out
into a warm and humid night.
I hailed a cab for her
and then we said our last good Night.
I never saw her face again
or beheld those striking eyes.
It was just a few months later
We got word that Garbo died.

There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them.

Drift Off To Dream
Drift off to Dream
As I sit here surrounded, By people and lights
Along with my drink at the bar
Youve been here forever, So clear in my mind
I just dont know where you are
But I know Ill find you, But girl till I do
This is my love song for you
Lets hold hands on the porch swing
Under the moon
While the wind through the willows
Plays us a tune
We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard
And wish for our future
On a far away star
And youll feel the passion, As time after time
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
Till you drift off
To dream in my arms
You might be hundreds, Or more miles away
Or you might be just down the street
But therell be a hunger, Deep in your eyes
That Ill recognize when we meet
It might take hours, Or it might talk years
But this is the song you will hear
Lets hold hands on the porch swing
Under the moon
While the wind through the willows
Plays us a tune
We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard
And wish for our future
On a far away star
And youll feel the passion, As time after time
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
Till you drift off
To dream in my arms
And youll feel the passion
As time after time
I press your sweet lips to mine
We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn
Till you drift off
To dream in my arms
