You were there when it started I remember it all so well
   The lights for my stage were coming on at last
  
   I waited for so long to have my chance at fortune
   I guess I forgot about you
  
   The light from the glitter blinded me, and I went after all who came
   There were many ladies there all looking for me
  
   They all seemed to love my singin', their beauty kept my head a-ringin'
   I guess I forgot about you
  
   The lights that were so bright started to flicker the ones that said they cared slowly disappeared
   But who was there when I needed help? the one I'd forgotten all about, you were there
  
   Yes, you were there through everything you believed me from the start
   I don't see how I could have been so blind
  
   It took me all this time to realise my fortune,all along it was you, all along it was you
