Let Me Be Your Star (SMASH Cast Version) - SMASH Cast/Katharine McPhee/Megan Hilty

Fade in on a girl

With a hunger for fame

And a face and a name you'll remember

The past fades away

Because as of this day

Norma Jean's gone

She's moving on

Her smile and your fantasies

Play a duet

That will make you forget

Where you are

The music starts playing

It's the beat of her heart saying

"Let me be your star "

Flash back to a girl

With a song in her heart

As she's waiting to start the adventure

The fire and drive

That make dreams come alive

They fill her soul

She's in control

The drama the laughter

The tears just like pearls

Well they're all in this girl's repertoire

It's all for the taking

And it's magic we'll be making

Let me be your star

I'll just have to forget the hurt that came before

Forget what used to be

The past is on the cutting room floor

The future is here with me

Choose me

Fade up on a star

With it all in her sights:

All the love and the lights

That surround her

Someday shell think twice

Of the dues and the price

Shell have to pay (Shell have to pay)

But not today (But not today)

Then shell do all she can

For the love of one man

And for millions who look from afar

And what youve been needing

Is all here and my hearts bleeding

Let me be your star
