Lyrics
They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small
I suffered each indignity
But now rise above it all
Yes, 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 someone's hurt and in need of a hand
Don't forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
Well, don't forget me
When you sing happy birthday to someone you love
Or see diamonds that never come 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
(When you see someone's hurt and in need of a hand)
Don't forget me, please take care
(Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand)
Don't forget me
Stop
What is this?
Oh my God, I'm so sorry, it's just that Nigel asked me–
There must be some misunderstanding
I was told this was a publicity day for you
This is what's happening here
Our director is trying to take away my sitzprobe
To punish me, I guess
Just like Billy Wilder did on "Seven Year Itch"
He wouldn't let me have a cake on my birthday
It's just pity
I am not going to be treated like that ever again
From the bridge
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
(When you see someone's hurt and in need of a hand)
Don't forget me, please take care
(Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand)
Don't forget me
When you look to the heavens with someone you love
And a light shining bright from afar
Hope you see my face there
And then offer a prayer
And please let me be
Let me be that star
