The Last Train to Broadway

from Songs To Eat Popcorn By by Bill White

/

lyrics

i was one of those actprs
who always fell in love with his leading lady
and this time it was no different
but id already told her id be staying in harlem
though i ended up staying in chelsea

we had come down from new haven
on the last train to broadway
although you knew the party was over
you followed me from moscow to paris
i finallly ditched you at the kennedy airport

i thought i had broken free of your shadow
when i was cast in that off-broadway show
but you were right there beside me
on that last train to broadway
and the last thing i thought of was jumping

i guess you thought you could stop me
from falling in lovewith that hollywood princess
but we had already made it during out of town try-outs
and this was one show busines
romance i believed in

but you were still there beside me
on that last train to broadway
and you held on to me like you owned me
and i told you then as id told you before
it was over and there was no returning

that was so long ago and the reason i called
was to say i was sorry to hear of your mother
and that i would be be in new haven to rehearse a play
and maybe we could meet for coffee
i understand that i hurt you and im sorry

but i had to move on and forget you
and im sorry that you are still stuck in the past
and there is no way that you can forgive me
but i had to catch a train the last train to broadway
and its a pity that i was so blind at the time
that i did not realize how muchi loved you
and i love you still
