THE STAR WHO FELL FROM GRACE
(Jeff Chegwin / Adrian Munsey)


Honor Blackman - 2009





Oh, such regrets
I've been foolish, it's true
I'm the star who fell from grace
That's how I'll be remembered
If remembered by you

I've had my fame
I've had my day
No more opening nights
With my name up in lights
On the Champs-Élysées 

I've had my dreams
I've had my day
I've had my fame
Then I threw all my dreams away

I hid all my torments in life 
On stage night after night
My face in the spotlight
No more curtain calls
All the encores are memories today

I've had my fame
I've had my day
I've had my chance
I could have been one of the "Greats"

Once there were five-star reviews
Endless prescient reviews 'bout my life
Hah, my life was front page news

Now there is no more applause
I'm no longer adored
There's no star on my door

I'm the star who fell from grace
The star who fell from grace
