Once Upon a Star Lyrics

So for another year, a face up on the wall
Now is it really you, you turn but no-one’s there
Lights, now the scene is set, the final act
The end of one who loved and gave, took nothing in return
And as the curtain falls you hear them call for more
But in your heart you know it’s over, it’s over

Ooh, don’t let it get you down
You made them laugh, you made them cry you know
Ooh, and when the lights are low
In their eyes you’ll always be a star

Remember those were the days, your name in lights
Up in the stars, your friends all drinking champagne from your hand
Now that was only yesterday, or so it seems
But still the years have passed you by, the times have changed so fast
Now memories and all the dreamings in the night
Are all that’s left of yesterday

Ooh, don’t let it get you down
You made them laugh, you made them cry you know
Ooh, and when the lights are low
In their eyes you’ll always be a star

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
