The first nickel I ever earned, I keep in a little silver frame. It's how I gave my company a name, Reminding me how very far I came!
I was a Maker of the silhouettes Who made a small improvement- A little book of silhouettes That simulated movement. Well, people seemed to like it, Soon the money's going clink! And I'm buffalo nickel photoplay, inc!
I go from Silhouettes to photos. I invent a small projector, And soon, I'm making movies And they're calling me director!
An industry is dawning And I'm standing on the brink- Mister buffalo nickel photoplay, inc!
Life shines from the shadow screen Comical, yet infinitely true. People love to see what people do, Here where everyone is someone new.
Such tales from the shadow screen! Little men who never get the breaks, Fighting on till something fin'lly takes- What a lovely movie it all makes!
Well, business is booming I'm happy to say. I just made a contract To film for pathe A series of chapters That end in suspense- Each week, see what's next For another five cents!
And I am Waking every morning Filled with such anticipation! I frame the sea, I frame the sky. And this is my vacation.
I shake your hand, I kiss your hand, I buy you all a drink! And maybe if you chance to see A movie that was made by me Remember when the name goes by That's ash-k-e-n-a-z-y
The baron, now american, Who happened once to think Of silhouette and flicker book And movies as they're meant to look And buffalo nickel photoplay, inc! Action!

There was a time My feet were so solidly planted You'd sail away While I turned my back to the sea I was content, A princess asleep and enchanted If I had dreams Then I let you dream them for me Back in the days When everything seemed so much clearer Women in white Who knew what their lives held in store Where are they now, Those women who stared from the mirror? We can never go back to before.
There are people out there Unafraid of revealing That they might have a feeling Or they might have been wrong There are people out there Unafraid to feel sorrow, unafraid of tomorrow, unafraid to be weak... unafraid to be strong!
There was a time When you were the person in motion I was your wife, It never occurred to want more You were my sky My moon and my stars and my ocean We can never go back to before We can never go back to before
