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
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
Thank you for this!
