If I Never Sing Another Song |
|
- Matt Monro |
|
In my heyday |
|
Young girls wrote to me |
|
Everybody seemed to have time |
|
to devote to me |
|
Everyone I saw |
|
all swore they knew me |
|
Once upon a song |
|
Main attraction, |
|
couldn't buy a seat |
|
The celebrity celebrities |
|
were dying to meet |
|
I've had every accolade |
|
bestowed on me |
|
And so you see |
|
If I never sing another song |
|
It shouldn't bother me |
|
I've had my share of fame |
|
You know my name |
|
If I never sing another song |
|
Or take another bow |
|
I would get by, |
|
but I'm not sure how |
|
Always posing, |
|
but you love it all |
|
Though you have to learn to act |
|
like you're above it all |
|
Everything I did |
|
the world applauded |
|
Once upon a star |
|
Framed citations, |
|
hung on every wall |
|
Got a scrapbook full of quotes |
|
I can't recall at all |
|
There were times |
|
I felt the world belonged to me |
|
And so you see |
|
If I never sing another song |
|
It shouldn't bother me |
|
I've had my share of fame |
|
You know my name |
|
If I never sing another song |
|
Or take another bow |
|
I would get by, |
|
but I'm not sure how |
|
la la la la la la la la-la . . . |
