I don t remember mama
She died when I was born
We lived in a one room shanty
But daddy tried to make it a home
When I was only six years old
I started singing in the streets
People would throw me pennies
So I could daddy make ends meet
And they d say
CHORUS 1:
Keep on singing
Don t stop singing
You re gonna be a star someday
You re gonna make a lot of people happy
When they come to hear you play
They said keep on singin
Keep the bells all ringin
Spread the music from town to town
There s not enough love in this old world
So spread your song around
By the time I was 10 years old
I had a little rock n roll band
Daddy s eyes were growing dim
But I didn t understand
He would be so proud of me
Each time he d hear me play
At night he d pull me to his side
And daddy would always say
He d say to
CHORUS 1
We didn t have much money
But things didn t seem so bad
I felt just like the queen of the world
When I was with my dad
Then one rainy April night
Daddy called me to his side
He held me with his tremblin hands
And just before he died
He said
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2 :
So I ll just
Keep on singing
I won t stop singing
I m gonna be a star someday
I m gonna make a lot of people happy
When they come to hear me play
I ll just keep on singin
Keep the bells all ringin
Spread the music from town to town
There s not enough love in this whole world
So I ll spread my song around
CHORUS 2
FADE
