I’m not alone on the beach A statuesque woman is walking towards me I recognize her I don’t know if this is really Greta Garbo any more than I know that this is really Hollywood
(To the woman) ”If it’s not too personal of a question, are you really Greta Garbo?”
[GRETA GARBO:] I’m going to turn you ‘round And I won’t let you down I’m going to turn you ‘round, and I won’t let you down, and I won’t let you down
I’m here to guide you home To somewhere monochrome But somewhere you will be A certain kind of free Dear Ingmar, follow me
You know that you’d be lost without me You know that you’d be lost without me You know that you’d be lost without me
Don’t question me tonight You really look a sight But soon you’ll have the chance To give the Bergman glance To Swedish girls again A little ways away A motion picture plays A film I made when I Was under Swedish skies A rising Swedish star A rising Swedish star
There is a small movie theater near here that is playing the film that transformed me and I know it will transform you.Will you be my date, dear Ingmar, to see The Story of Gosta Berling, the Swedish film that made me a star? I think you will find it powerful and in ways you might not imagine. Let’s walk. The movie theater isn’t very far.
You know that you’d be lost without me You know that you’d be lost without me You know that you’d be lost without me
