If I Never Sing Another Song

The audiences treated him kindly
Nobody shouted for more
These days you don't read much about him
No star in the dressing room door (not sure this line)
I went to backstage to see him
No crowd to stand in my way
He did not look sad
No he did not look sad
But there is something he wanted to say

In my heyday
Young girls 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 shouldn't bother me
I've 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't recall at all
There were times
I felt the world belonged to me
And so you see

If I never sing another song
It shouldn't bother me
I've had my share of fame
You know my name

If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
Life will go on,
but I'm not sure how
