lyrics

When day becomes Hollywood night
The famous nightingale takes flight
And sings the song of hope and love
Bellowed from above, scattering the doves

Her nest lies hidden by the Y
Behind the sacred Holy sign
She sings the song of Angelyne
A tune so divine it briefly stops time

Behind the veil of pale moonlight
She stays awake to make things right
For every dreaming child of man
Who came for the fame in Hollywoodland

She fills the actor's eyes with tears
She quells the writer's deepest fears
She stirs the bard to sing his song
And pass the baton of fame on and on

Fame descends upon her wings
Breath the air
After she sings

When night becomes Hollywood day
The famous nightingale can't stay
Though she returns behind the sign
Her magic has spread from Virgil to Vine
