They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small
I suffered each indignity

But Now rise above it all
Cause 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

So if you see some one's hurt and in need of a hand
Don't forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
Don't forget me!
When you sing happy birthday to some one 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 all only live to control
For a kiss they'd pay 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 some one's hurt and in need of a hand
You don't forget me!
Or hear a melody crying 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 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
At a light shining bright from afar
Oh please see my face there
And then offer a prayer
And please let me be, let me be that star
