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 someones hurt
And in need of a hand
Dont forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
Well, dont forget me
When you sing Happy Birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please, say that you wont
I pray that you dont forget me
But forget every man who I ever met
Because they only live to control
For a kiss they paid a thousand
Yet they paid fifty cents for my souls
They took their piece
The price of fame
That no one can repay
Ah, but they didnt buy me
When they bought my name
And that is why I pray
That when you see someones hurt
And in need of a hand
You dont forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
Well, dont forget me
When you sing Happy Birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds you wish were all free
Please, say that you wont
I pray that you dont forget me
There are some in this world
Who have strenght on their own
Never broken or need of repair
But there are some born to shine who cant do it alone
So protect them and take special care
Take care
And dont forget me
Please, take care
And dont forget me
When you look to the heavens with someone you love
And a light shining bright from a far
I hope you see my face there
And then offer a prayer
And please, let me be
Let me be the star.
