If I Never Sing Another Song - Udo Jürgens

Written by：Don Black/Udo Jürgens

The audience treated him kindly

Nobody shouted for more

These days you don't read much about him

No star on his dressing room door

I went backstage to see him

No crowds to stand in my way

He didn't look sad

No he didn't look sad

But he had something he wanted to say

In my high day

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 would die 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

Hang 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

Life would go on but I'm not sure how
