[00:13.79]They thought they could dispose of me
[00:16.62]They tried to make me small
[00:20.72]I suffered each indignity
[00:23.79]But now rise above it all
[00:27.09]Yes, the price I paid was all I had
[00:31.00]But at last, I found release
[00:34.97]And if something good can come from bad
[00:38.15]The past can rest in peace Oh if you see someone's hurt
[00:41.75]And in need of a hand
[00:45.19]Don't forget me
[00:47.73]Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
[00:51.87]You don't forget me
[00:55.15]When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
[00:59.19]Or see diamonds you wish were all free
[01:01.79]Please say that you won't;
[01:03.93]I pray that you don't forget me
[01:08.82]But forget every man who I ever met
[01:12.48]'Cause they only lived to control
[01:15.63]For a kiss they paid a thousand
[01:19.09]Yet they paid fifty cents for my soul
[01:22.56]They took their piece
[01:24.53]The price of fame that no one can repay
[01:28.68]Ah, but they didn't buy me when they bought my name
[01:33.34]And that is why I pray
[01:36.11]That when you see someone's hurt And in need of a hand
[01:40.14]You don't forget me
[01:42.79]Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
[01:47.00]You don't forget me
[01:50.07]When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
[01:53.77]Or see diamonds you wish were all free
[01:57.10]Please say that you won't;
[01:59.86]I pray that you don't forget me
[02:03.88]There are some in this world who have strength on their own
[02:07.62]Never broken or in need of repair
[02:10.60]But there are some born to shine who can't do it alone
[02:14.56]So protect them and take special care
[02:19.71]Take care
[02:26.45]And don't forget me
[02:29.02]Please take care
[02:33.41]And don't forget me
[02:39.94]When you look to the heavens with someone you love
[02:40.38]And a light shining bright from afar
[02:45.50]Hope you see my face there
[02:48.83]And then offer a prayer
[02:52.59]And please let me be
[02:57.00]Let me be that star
