Christine Lavin - If I Could Be Sonja Henie lyrics

Oh if I could spend my life in the movies I'd relive black and white celluloid dreams My favorites of all starred Sonja Henie The perennial winter carnival queen Oh the plots were not what you'd call complicated Though the music and the costumes were divine Sonja skated her way in and out of our hearts Skated her way into time The men wore tuxedos then The women wore beaded gowns Every night was spent Painting the town Another shade of red Not blue Oh if I could be Sonja Henie I'd pretend that her leading man was you The men wore tuxedos Women, beaded gowns Every night was spent Painting the town Another shade of red Never blue Oh if I could be Sonja Henie I'd pretend that her leading man was you If I can be Sonja Henie I'll pretend her leading man is you
