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
SO, 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
OH, 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
OH, 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
OF 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.......
