"The Girl Who Used To Be" lyrics
"The Girl Who Used To Be"
She's the girl who used to be
In the town that can't remember
Just a face you use to see
In a show one past September
Another child star who didn't get far as she hoped to
She's got re-runs for memories
She don't want sympathy
Or pity from me
She wants the chance to do it over
Just to prove that she can
There's no sympathy
Or pity from me
Just the chance to do it over
To prove that she can
She reads the want ads and haunts the bars
What she finds is next to nothing
She can push but just so far
And she's tired of being that someone
At the end of the line
She wants her day in the sun forever
Not much different from you and me
She's the girl who used to be
In the town that can't remember
Writer(s): Marilyn Bergman, Alan Bergman, Marvin Hamlisch

And mamma worked hard at the mill
Well I know it sounds like an old line but
I tried and I always will

The only thing I've...
Gino Vannelli - "Appaloosa" Appaloosa, runnin' wild in the dead of the night
Appaloosa, you're the message of love and light
Apparitions, they grow wild in the plains of my mind
I get visions of the mountain that I must climb...
Genesis - "Misunderstanding" There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
I was waiting in the rain for hours
You were late
Now it's not like me to say the right thing
But you could've called to let me...
