If I Never Sing Another Song

- matt monro

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

i would get by,

but i'm not sure how

la la la la la la la la-la . . .
