That's what I want more than anything in the world, but it could never be...nMan: Of course it can...nWoman: But my father would find us wherever we went. Yes, he has forbidden me to... to even speak to you, if he finds me now. I don't know what he'd do...nMan: But he doesn't know that I'm... I'm a prince. Before, I was the thief of Baghdad now...nWoman: It doesn't matter...nMan: Then follow me, darling, follow me now to the ends of the EarthnnOne on one to talk to younLike film stars they get close to younYou've mirrored his appealnHe wants you so, he wants to be beside younThen you pass by giving him the other side of younLike the mystics donSo that every time he moves, he moves for younnSoul and light can always seenThe meeting of true love and shenThis silent night and I,nI guess a lonely mind might seennI've seen love on the screennI've seen a screen goddesss and me-ohnHow often this, how often, this the power of younAnd so, I must confessnWhatever I seenI'm meant to be there with younWith you with younnSilent golden movies, talkies, technicolour, long agonMy younger ways stand clearer, clearer than my footprintsnStardom greats I've followed closely Closer than the nearest heartbeatnLonger that expected-ther were great-nOh love oh love just to see themnActing on the silver screen, oh mynClark Gable, Fairbanks, Maureen O'SullivannFantasy would fill my life and InLove fantasy so muchnDid you see in the morning lightnI really talked, yes I did, to Gods early dawning lightnAnd I was privileged to be as I am to this daynTo be with you. To be with younn[movie actor like speech:]nMr. Cairo: Listen. I have arranged this display for... for all of you people to... to come here this evening and I... I know you have been searched, but, what you... you don't realize is, is that in the back of the Maltese Falcon, I have it ...
