Music and Lyrics by Rob Roper
From the 2012 Album, "The Other Side of Nowhere"

lyrics

The Man in the Movies
by Rob Roper © 2011


She had no time for sadness
Didn't believe in second chances
She was looking for the man in the movies
She wanted flowers without the rain

I played the part for awhile
wearing a crooked smile
I was the man in the movies
I promised her flowers without the rain

Guess I scared her a little
when I let her see my cry
I'm not the man in the movies
Ain't no flowers without
the rain
