Don't Forget Me (SMASH Cast Version) (feat. Katharine McPhee)

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
