| [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 |
