In my heyday Young men 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 wouldn't bother me I 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 recall them all There were times I felt the world belonged to me And so you see
If I never sing another song It wouldn't bother me I 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 But I'm not sure how But I'm not sure how
