[00:13.79] |
They thought they could dispose of me |
[00:16.62] |
They tried to make me small |
[00:20.72] |
I suffered each indignity |
[00:23.79] |
But now rise above it all |
[00:27.09] |
Yes, the price I paid was all I had |
[00:31.00] |
But at last, I found release |
[00:34.97] |
And if something good can come from bad |
[00:38.15] |
The past can rest in peace Oh if you see someone's hurt |
[00:41.75] |
And in need of a hand |
[00:45.19] |
Don't forget me |
[00:47.73] |
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand |
[00:51.87] |
You don't forget me |
[00:55.15] |
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love |
[00:59.19] |
Or see diamonds you wish were all free |
[01:01.79] |
Please say that you won't; |
[01:03.93] |
I pray that you don't forget me |
[01:08.82] |
But forget every man who I ever met |
[01:12.48] |
'Cause they only lived to control |
[01:15.63] |
For a kiss they paid a thousand |
[01:19.09] |
Yet they paid fifty cents for my soul |
[01:22.56] |
They took their piece |
[01:24.53] |
The price of fame that no one can repay |
[01:28.68] |
Ah, but they didn't buy me when they bought my name |
[01:33.34] |
And that is why I pray |
[01:36.11] |
That when you see someone's hurt And in need of a hand |
[01:40.14] |
You don't forget me |
[01:42.79] |
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand |
[01:47.00] |
You don't forget me |
[01:50.07] |
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love |
[01:53.77] |
Or see diamonds you wish were all free |
[01:57.10] |
Please say that you won't; |
[01:59.86] |
I pray that you don't forget me |
[02:03.88] |
There are some in this world who have strength on their own |
[02:07.62] |
Never broken or in need of repair |
[02:10.60] |
But there are some born to shine who can't do it alone |
[02:14.56] |
So protect them and take special care |
[02:19.71] |
Take care |
[02:26.45] |
And don't forget me |
[02:29.02] |
Please take care |
[02:33.41] |
And don't forget me |
[02:39.94] |
When you look to the heavens with someone you love |
[02:40.38] |
And a light shining bright from afar |
[02:45.50] |
Hope you see my face there |
[02:48.83] |
And then offer a prayer |
[02:52.59] |
And please let me be |
[02:57.00] |
Let me be that star |
