Let Me Be Your Star Lyrics - The Music Of Smash - Smash Cast

Fade in on a girl 

With a hunger for fame 

And a face and a name you'll remember. 

The past fades away 

Because as of this day 

Norma Jean'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." 

Flash back 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 shell think twice 

Of the dues and the price 

Shell have to pay (Shell have to pay) 

But not today (But not today) 

Then shell do all she can 

For the love of one man 

And for millions who look from afar. 

And what youve been needing 

Is all here and my hearts bleeding. 

Let me be your star!
