Song lyrics

One day your story will be told

One of the lucky ones who's made his name

One day they'll make you glorious

Beneath the lights of your deserved fame


And it all comes round

Once in a lifetime like it always does

Everybody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance

Out on a dance to the moon, too soon


And they'll say told you so

We were the ones who saw you first of all

We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars


One day they'll tell you that you've changed

Though they're the ones who seem to stop and stare

One day you'll hope to make the grave

Before the papers choose to send you there


And it all comes round

Once in a lifetime like it always does

Nobody loves you 'cause you've taken a chance

Out on a dance to the moon, too soon


And they'll say told you so

We were the ones who saw you first of all

We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars


And they'll say told you so

We were the ones who saw you first of all

We always knew that you were one of the brightest stars
