In my heyday
Young girls
wrote to me
Everybody seemed
to have time
to devote to me
Everyone I saw
all swore
they knew me
Once upon a song
Main attraction
couldn't buy a seat
The celebrity
celebrities were dying
to meet
I've had every accolade
bestowed on me
And so you see
If I never sing
another song
It shouldn't bother me
I've had my share
of fame
You know my name
If I never sing
another song
Or take
another bow
I would get by
but I'm not sure
how
Always posing
but you love it all
Though you have
to learn to act
like you're above it all
Everything I did
the world applauded
Once upon a star
Framed citations
hung on every wall
Got a scrapbook
full of quotes
I can't recall at all
There were times
I felt the world
belonged to me
And so you see
If I never sing
another song
It shouldn't bother me
I've had my
share of fame
You know my name
If I never sing
another song
Or take another bow
I would get by
but I'm not sure
how
