|
They thought they could dispose of me |
|
they tried to make me small |
|
I suffered each indignity |
|
but now rise above it all |
|
Yes, the price I paid |
|
Was all I had |
|
But at last I found release |
|
And if something good can come from bad |
|
The past can rest in peace |
|
Oh, if you see someones hurt |
|
And in need of a hand |
|
Dont forget me |
|
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand |
|
Well, dont forget me |
|
When you sing Happy Birthday to someone you love |
|
Or see diamonds you wish were all free |
|
Please, say that you wont |
|
I pray that you dont forget me |
|
But forget every man who I ever met |
|
Because they only live to control |
|
For a kiss they paid a thousand |
|
Yet they paid fifty cents for my souls |
|
They took their piece |
|
The price of fame |
|
That no one can repay |
|
Ah, but they didnt buy me |
|
When they bought my name |
|
And that is why I pray |
|
That when you see someones hurt |
|
And in need of a hand |
|
You dont forget me |
|
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand |
|
Well, dont forget me |
|
When you sing Happy Birthday to someone you love |
|
Or see diamonds you wish were all free |
|
Please, say that you wont |
|
I pray that you dont forget me |
|
There are some in this world |
|
Who have strenght on their own |
|
Never broken or need of repair |
|
But there are some born to shine who cant do it alone |
|
So protect them and take special care |
|
Take care |
|
And dont forget me |
|
Please, take care |
|
And dont forget me |
|
When you look to the heavens with someone you love |
|
And a light shining bright from a far |
|
I hope you see my face there |
|
And then offer a prayer |
|
And please, let me be |
|
Let me be the star. |
