(Keep on singing don`t stop singing)
(You`re gonna be a star some day)
(You`re gonna make a lot of people happy)
(When they come to hear you play)
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
They said
CHORUS:
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 a ringin
Spread the music from town to town
There`s not enough song in this old world
So spread your song around
By the time I was 10 years old
I had a rock n roll band
Daddy`s eyes were growing dim
But I didn`t understand
He said he would be so proud of me
Each time he`d hear us play
At night he`d pull me to his side
And daddy would always say
CHORUS
He 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
Right before he died
