lyrics

Sound Stage (All Is Cool)

Back then when the world was still in black and white
and the stars hung from bars
held up by union men standing on chairs
While you listened to the radio on crackling summer nights
stars would lean in between as a clarinet washed through the grey air

And time will tell what the time is going to tell
and so much will change

But I can still picture you on a sound stage in the West Side
Dancing on tabletops, wearing your red shoes
Singing songs about bluebirds, and white cliffs
and letting everyone forget about the war tonight

on a sound stage all is still
in a still life all is sound
in a sound life all is cool
on the last stage all is all

And time will tell what the time is going to tell
and so much will change

I can still picture you on a bench in San Francisco
handing out wildflowers, or playing your guitar
Singing for everyone (never pass a chance to harmonize)
Knowing everything will be just right

I can still picture you living here among us
knowing something beautiful is bound to begin
You never missed a chance to add a little extra
so that everyone could forget about the world
tonight
