SMASH Cast, Megan Hilty, Katharine McPhee - Let Me Be Your Star (Extended Intro SMASH Cast Version) lyrics

So another man says that he can't compete
That he can't love a moving target

So another affair gets an incomplete
Well, it's time to adjust my plan

Cause when I'm up there

On the silver screen

I can make the whole world want Norma Jeane

So, I can't have the love of a single man

But a million or more, well

That I can

Fade in on a girl with a hunger for fame
And a face and a name to remember
The past fades away because as of this day
Norma Jeane's gone she's moving on
Her smile and your fantasies play a duet
That will make you forget where you are
The music starts playing
It's the beat of her heart saying:
"Let me be your star"

Flashback to a girl with a song in her heart
As she's waiting to start the adventure
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive
They fill her soul she's in control
The drama, the laughter
The tears just like pearls
Well, they’re all in this girl’s repertoire
It’s all for the taking
And it’s magic we’ll be making
Let me be your star

I'll just have to forget the
Hurt that came before

Forget what used to be

The past is on the cutting room floor

The future is here with me

Choose me! Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights
All the love and the lights that surround her
Someday she’ll think twice
Of the dues and the price

She’ll have to pay

She’ll have to pay

But not today

But not today

She’ll do all she can
For the love of one man
And for millions who look from afar
I'm what you’ve been needing
It's all here and my heart's pleading
Let me be your star!
