The ballad of Madeline Zima
Written by Jesse Rómlárson

Once a child beneath the studio’s light
A silent spark, innocent and bright
Learning to move upon the screen
Moments captured, yet unseen

Now under Virgo’s careful skies
Her beauty whispers, never tries
A mysterious woman like the moon in its rise
With depths of sadness in her eyes

Oh Madeline!, Where do the secrets lie?
In every role, there’s a dream you defy
Past and present are written on your face
My timeless muse with charming grace

In the lives you act, quiet and wise
In a deeper world where innocence dies
The light you carry inside
Will always rise

Oh Maddy! What do the stars reveal?
Will I be the man of your dreams?
In the cosmos of our lives
We will dance with the stars

In the spaces between
The lines you always read
Our lives will play like a movie
When you’re here, my heart will lead

The curtain falls, but you still remain
In my heart forever is your name
A kiss of acting, my sweetest bliss
In my life’s scene, it’s what I miss

Oh Maddy! What do the stars reveal?
Will I be the man of your dreams?
In the cosmos of our lives
We will dance with the stars

In the spaces between
The lines you always read
Our lives will play like a movie
When you’re here, my heart will lead

The curtain falls, but you still remain
In my heart forever is your name
A kiss of acting, my sweetest bliss
In my life’s scene, it’s what I miss…
