LYRICS::
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
