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 that
the past can rest in peace.
So if you see someone's hurt
and in need of a hand:
don't forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand:
don't forget me!
When you sing Happy Birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free:
please say that you won't,
I pray that you don't forget me.
But forget every man
who I ever met,
cause they only lived to control.
For a kiss they paid a thousand,
yet they paid 50 cents for my soul.
They took their piece,
the price of fame
that no one can repay
But they didn't buy me
when they bought my name
and that is why I pray:
That if you see someone's hurt
and in need of a hand:
Don't forget me!
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand:
Don't forget me!
When you sing Happy Birthday to someone you love,
or see diamonds you wish were all free:
please say that you won't,
I pray that you don't forget me.
There are some in this world
who have strenghth of their own
never broken or need of repair
but there are some born to shine
who can't do it alone
so protect them
and take special care!
Take care!
And don't forget me!
Please take care!
And don't forget me!
When you look to the heavens
with someone you love
and a light's shining bright from above
Hope you see my face there
and then offer a prayer
and please let me be...
Let me be that star!
