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
