I still remember those Saturday nights
Drive-in flickers in the moonlight
John Wayne on the saddle, larger than life
Dad's old Chevy parked next to my mom, his wife
Audrey Hepburn in her little black dress
Made my momma smile, made her feel blessed
James Dean, that rebel, burning so bright
We'd lose ourselves in those mesmerizing lights
All my favorite actors are dying
Silver screen heroes, now ghosts in the sky
Nostalgia tugs at my heartstrings, I'm sighing
A film reel of memories, time passing by
Humphrey Bogart with a cigarette in hand
Soft whispers in Casablanca's land
Marilyn Monroe, the queen of the screen
Her laughter's but an echo in my dreams
Gregory Peck in that Southern tale
To Kill a Mockingbird, pure and frail
Dad held me close when he shed a tear
Those moments of joy are cherished so dear
All my favorite actors are dying
Silver screen heroes, now ghosts in the sky
Nostalgia tugs at my heartstrings, I'm sighing
A film reel of memories, time passing by
