She had stars in her eyes   In her dreams every night   So she packed her bags   And took a ride out to Hollywood      She took the town by storm   Another star was born   Now she don't come back here to see us anymore   From Hollywood, California      She's up there on the silver screen   Her face in every magazine   She said she'd never make it   But I knew she would   In Hollywood, California      I wonder if she thinks of me   And how good we used to be   But then why would she where life's so good   In Hollywood, California      I thought for sure we'd settle down   Right here in our home town   Find ourselves a little house   And raise a family      Oh but she had other plans   She loved to sing and dance   And there's just some things you can't do here   That I guess you can in Hollywood, California      She's up there on the silver screen   Her face in every magazine   She said she'd never make it   But I knew she would   In Hollywood, California      I wonder if she thinks of me   And how good we used to be   But then why would she where life's so good   In Hollywood, California      She called me last night   She said I know it's past midnight   But could you be on the next flight      Cuz I need you here   I need to feel you near   I've cried so many tears since I came   To Hollywood, California      All of my sweetest dreams   They don't mean anything   Oh if you're not here with me   In Hollywood, California      Hollywood, California
