in my heyday

young girls 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 shouldn't bother me

i've 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't recall at all

there were times i felt

the world belonged to me

and so you see

if i never sing another song

it shouldn't bother me

i've 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

overture

if i never sing another song

it shouldn't bother me

i've had my share of fame

you know my name

la la la la la la la la la

la la la la la la la la la
