SMASH Cast - Don't Forget Me lyrics

rate me

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 that 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.

Ah, if you see someone's hurt

And in need of a hand,

Don't forget me.

Or hear a melody cryin' from some baby grand,

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'd pay a thousand

Yet they paid 50 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...

Ah, if you see someone's hurt

And in need of a hand,

Don't forget me.

Or hear a melody cryin' from some baby grand,

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 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's shining bright from afar,

Hope you see my face there,

And then offer a prayer,

And please, let me be, let me be the star.
