Fade in on a girl with a hunger for fame
With a face and a name to remember
The past fades away because as of this day
Norma Jean's gone she's moving on
Her smile and your fantasies play a duet
That will make you forget where you are
The music starts playing it's the beat of her heart saying let me be your star
Flash back to a girl with a song in her heart
As she's waiting to start the adventure
The fire and drive that make dreams come alive
They fill her soul she's in control
The drama the laughter the tears just like pearls
Well they're all in this girl's repertoire
It's all for the taking and it's magic
We'll be making let me be your star
I just have to forget the hurt that came before
Forget what used to be The past is on the cutting room floor
The future is here with me choose me
Fade up on a star with it all in her sights
All the love and the lights that surround her
Someday she'll think twice of the dues and the price
She'll have to pay but not today
And she'll do all she can for the love of one man
And for Millions who love from afar
And all you've been needing
It's all here and my heart's pleading
Let me be your star
