Maybe she was one once
Do i see my future in her
presence
I can't stop staring
A shopping cart is
all she has now
And a bleeding heart never paid the bills
and
Beauty fades

Down on sunset boulevard
No
one stops to look at her
No one notices her figure
Men
once fought to get her name
Her hair was long and colored
blonde
Her lashes curled up to the sun
With black
mascara

Ooh, keep your feet focussed forward on the
sidewalk
On the stars
On another day

Cause
beauty fades
Like the sun in march like the rain in
may
Beauty fades
Like the secret truth of a summer
day
Beauty fades

I like to drive into the hills of
laurel canyon
I like the houses and the trees
I like the
money in my bank account
And it's running out
But
i'll worry about that another day
As beauty
fades

Ooh, people they don't want you when
you're ugly
After they've taken everything you had
to offer
Away away away

Ya beauty fades
Like
the sun in march like the rain in may
Beauty fades
Like
the secret truth of a summer day
Beauty
fades

Summertime i watch the girls go by
Dressed in
their summer clothes
Maybe there's another truth
awaiting them
I will never know
They wait they
wait
They are waiting for someone to say
I choose
you
And then carry them away carry them away
Away away
away

Ya beauty fades
Like the sun in march like the
rain in may
Beauty fades
Like the secret truth of a
summer day
Beauty fades
Beauty fades

And pretty
girls do what you can while you're still pretty
The
lines around the eyes are the to show
So hide your
age
Gracefully...
