They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small
I suffered each indignity
But now rise above it allabove 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
