Lyrics Don't Forget Me (SMASH Cast Version) [feat. Katharine McPhee] - SMASH Cast

They thought they could dispose of me
They tried to make me small
I suffered each indignity, but now rise above it all
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 sees 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 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 only lived to control
For a kiss they paid a thousnad
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 someone's hurt or in need of a hand
You don't forget me
Or hear a melody crying from some baby grand
You 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 on 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
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
