about

Katharine Hepburn reflects on her 25 year romance with Spencer Tracy, a love story that had to be hidden in the real world, but could be broadcast to millions on the big screen.

lyrics

Headlines will spin in to set the scene
The camera lens is rubbed with Vaseline
The film gets grainy, you could swear that we glow
Was it shot so very long ago?

We’ll say that your housekeeper found you
Keep dancing around what they all knew
After nine films, we were fools to think we could hide
Cuz we fell in love right before their eyes

Step into the sun
Don’t be afraid
There’s nothing to be done with the mess we’ve made

Can’t stay in the cold
Sweet tortured soul
Say we’re only friends, say it’s only a role

Don’t leak the truth
We can’t be seen
When you kiss me, so kiss me on the screen

Pretending off the set can take its toll
But we’re not acting when the camera rolls
An average joe meets woman of the year
You brought me down to earth, so let me take you to the stratosphere

Step into the sun
Don’t be afraid
There’s nothing to be done with the mess we’ve made

Can’t stay in the cold
Sweet tortured soul
No need for rehearsal when you’re living the role

They’ll see the truth
In every scene
So just kiss me, kiss me on the screen

Competitor that I adore
Don’t punish yourself anymore
You’ve tossed and turned for thirty years
With catholic guilt and buried fears

Please let me in before you go
I don’t give up, I don’t take no’s
So tell me now before you rest
What kept you up? What was it Spence?

On the screen, on the screen, kiss me on the screen
Now tell me
On the screen, on the screen, kiss me on the screen

Step into the sun
Don’t be afraid
Millions have adored this mess we’ve made

Come in from the cold
Sweet tortured soul
Living wasn’t easy and you’re dying to go

So I’ll let you sleep
And I’ll let you dream
Of when you kissed me, kissed me on the screen
