if i never sing another song

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
