Udo Jürgens - If I Never Sing Another Song lyrics

The audience treated him kindly
But 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 heyday 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
