Don't Forget Me

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.
