Lyrics

I dreamed of Judy Garland
And of her bottled blues
Resting in a dressing room
Shaking star dust from her shoes
She spoke of her beginnings
At Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
And of touching millions
With no one really there
A child of the movies
In a pyrite Golden Age
I never knew the price she paid
For a life upon that stage
(But) Judy had that catch in her voice
That put your heart into her hand
Judy, she had trouble
Judy had no choice
But to give her heart upon demand
She had to give her heart upon demand
She had trouble sleeping
And waking for the day
With studio prescriptions
To keep her thin and fey
They'd work her to exhaustion
Propelled by Benzedrine
Then call her unreliable
If she would miss a scene
From Vaudeville in Grand Rapids
To the Walkway of the Stars
Who'd have known a girl so young
Could have gone that far?
(But) Judy had that catch in her voice
That put your heart into her hand
Judy, she had trouble
Judy had no choice
But to give her heart upon demand
She had to give her heart upon demand
The Palladium in London
The Palace in New York
The come-back of a trouper
When God wondered at her work
She asked me of the movie stars
And singers of today
I said I couldn't think of one
She wouldn't blow away
She laughed and then she thanked me
And said she had to go
For there were rainbows waiting
Down along a golden road
(But) Judy had that catch in her voice
That put your heart into her hand
Judy, she had trouble
Judy had no choice
But to give her heart upon demand
She had to give her heart upon demand
I dreamed of Judy Garland
All on a summer's night
Resting in a dressing room
Packing stardust for her flight...
