Gladys:
If our lives were a movie
I'd know what to do

I'd write every scene with my heart

An RKO picture

That stars me and you
And this time I'd learn my part


I'd paint you some scenery
We'd sing and we'd dance
From morning till late afternoon

And when that scene is done
Then I peg(?) down(?) the sun
And for you, darling, I'll hang the moon


We'd wake up to sunshine
Like lights on a set

You'd reach out and there'd be my hand
All day there'd be music
A perfect duet

That flows from the white baby grand

At night when you're frightened

I'll play you to sleep
That melody from Claire de Lune
And to fill up the sky

Half the clouds I would fly
And for you, darling, I'll hang the moon


Hang the moon forever
So you'd never fear
The darkness, the darkness I know

Moon, protect Norma Jeane
So that she'll never be alone
Never alone


If our lives were a movie
Then you'd be the star

'Cause know I know the role I should play
To applaud all you do
All the things that you are

And just be there on opening day

I know in the past

That the lines were all wrong
And the music was never in tune
But the wish that I make

Is for just one more take
Because then, darling, I'll hang the moon


Gladys & Marilyn:
I'll hang the moon above you
So you never fear

The darkness, the darkness of night
Then you'll know I love you
Each time that you feel a light


Gladys:
Feel the light


If our lives were a movie
Then I'd cut away

All the moments when I wasn't there

Marilyn:

The scenes that are happy
Are all that will stay
The rest will dissolve into air


Gladys & Marilyn:
As the final reel ends

We might both shed a tear

Gladys:

For the ending is coming up soon

Gladys & Marilyn:
But when the screen fades to black
We can smile and look back


Gladys:
And for you, darling, I'll hang the moon
