Montgomery Clift...why?
Because he's just that great.
He inspires and motivates
Brings tears and laughter.
Montgomery Clift...why?
Because he tears you apart
And puts you back together,
Like only a Great can do.
Montgomery Clift...why?
Because he is unique.
Unlike any other; a Star.
One of the few, the Magnificent.
Montgomery Clift...why?
The proud, the beautiful,
The profane. Perfectly
Combined in one lonely shell.
Montgomery Clift...why?
Because you were too
Big for this earth to contain.
And you couldn't bear it.
Montgomery Clift...why?
Because you were applauded
But not loved. And you,
You wanted nothing more.
Montgomery Clift...why?
Because the good die young;
And you didn't want to be
Any different.
Montgomery Clift. That's why.
