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
