I don't long to live forever
No desire to be a star
No ambitions like Madonna's
To stretch myself way, way too far
I don't sweat with channel fever
Or plan to launch a fragrant scent
Keep away the range of handbags
Keep your money well unspent
I would have instead one good song
One to sing when it's my turn
I would study, keep it ready
I would watch and wait and learn
Time would pass, I'd get my chances
One would be just right, just right
I would make the one-off debut
Have a starry, starry night
There might be a little clapping
A kiss, a 'hey', a 'look at you'
I might like the feel of smiling
It might warm me through and through
Then I'd sit and it's all over
On to someone else's sound
If we all take just one moment
There'll be enough to go around
