What did become of the girl I once knew
What of the glamour and pain
Those were the days, yes the star of the show
There up in lights shone my name

Shone my name

I fell in love with the man of my dreams
He was so handsome and kind
One day I found her alone in his arms
A pretty young girl from the line, chorus line
Chorus line

Chorus:

I lost faith in myself
Couldn't face publicity
What this man had done to me
And I was right, and he was wrong
Foolish pride got in my way
If I'd looked the other way
I would still be the star of the show

I vowed I'd never go back on my word
No-one would treat me this way
Only close friends knew how he broke my heart
A secret I kept to this day
To this day

Repeat chorus

Time passes slowly and people forget
No-one remembers my name
Such a price, such is fame
