Too much in love to care* - Kevin Anderson & Meredith Braun

Have been listening to Sunset Boulevard a lot lately. Rekindling my love for it. Was planning to blog about it but the weekend is over and it's back to work again. Here's one of me favourite songs from it:-

When I was a kid, I played on this street
I always loved illusion
I thought make-believe was truer than life
But now it's all confusion
Please, can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know anymore
If this is real, how should I feel?
What should I look for?

I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I haven't got a prayer
If I'm a fool, well
I'm too much in love to care

I knew where I was, I'd given up hope
Made friends with disillusion
No one in my life, but I look at you
And now it's all confusion

Please, can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know anymore
If this is real, how should I feel?
What should I look for?

I thought I had everything I needed
My life was set, my dreams were in place
My heart could see way into the future
All of that goes when I see your face

I can't control all the things I'm feeling
I'm floating in mid-air
I know it's wrong, but,
I'm too much in love to care
Don Black & Christopher Hampton

I love this scene - and the part just before it, as they walked along the corridor to the water fountain. When they reached the end, the props flip and they spin around and continue walking. Cool! :-)
