SMASH Cast - Let Me Be Your Star (Extended Intro) Lyrics

So another man says that he can't compete
That he can't love a moving target
So another affair gets an incomplete
Well, it's time to adjust my plan

Cause when I'm up there on the silver screen
I can make the whole world want Norma Jeane
So, I can't have the love of one man
But a million or more, well that I can

Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame
And a face and a name you'll remember.
The past fades away
Because as of this day
Norma Jean's gone,
She's moving on.
Her smile and your fantasies
Play a duet
That will make you forget
Where you are.
The music starts playing
It's the beat of her heart saying,
"Let me be your star."

Flash back to a girl
With a song in her heart
As she's waiting to start the adventure.
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive,
They fill her soul.
She's in control.
The drama, the laughter,
The tears just like pearls.
Well, they're all in this girl's repertoire.
It's all for the taking,
And it's magic we'll be making.
Let me be your star.
I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before,
Forget what used to be.
The past is on the cutting room floor,
The future is here with me.
Choose me!

Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights:
All the love and the lights
That surround her.
Someday shell think twice
Of the dues and the price
Shell have to pay (Shell have to pay)
But not today (But not today)
Then shell do all she can
For the love of one man
And for millions who look from afar.
And what youve been needing
Is all here and my hearts bleeding.
Let me be your star!
