|
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 someone's hurt |
|
And in need of a hand |
|
Don't forget me |
|
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand |
|
You 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 fifty cents for my soul |
|
They took their piece |
|
The price of fame that no one can repay |
|
Ah, but they didn't buy me when they bought my name |
|
And that is why I pray |
|
That when you see someone's hurt |
|
And in need of a hand |
|
You don't forget me |
|
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand |
|
You 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 strength on their own |
|
Never broken or in 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 shining bright from afar |
|
Hope you see my face there |
|
And then offer a prayer |
|
And please let me be |
|
Let me be that star |
