"Sometimes he said I loved too much"
Your voice made these words sound so true
It's another day spent at the pictures

It's another day I dream of you

Anna Schmidt worked as an actress
Who avowed, "I don't play tragedy"
Yes, I've memorized most all of your lines
Alida, Miss Valli, my sweet

As Anna you personified heartbreak
You laughed only once then proclaimed:
"There isn't enough for two laughs"
Then a tear trickled down your left cheek

Some leaves fell during your exit
As you walked down the middle of the street
It was thirty-past-two, and all eyes were on you
Alida, Miss Valli, my sweet

you held your hands in your pockets
And stared straight ahead frigidly
It was so melancholy as you passed on by holly
Alida, Miss Valli, my sweet

Alida, Miss Valli, my sweet
