5.Keep On Singing
Composer:Bobby Hart/Danny Janssen
I Don't Remember Mama.
She Died When I Was Born.
We Lived In A One Room Shanty
But Daddy Tried To Make It A Home
When I Was Only Six Years Old,
Started Singing In The Streets.
And People Would Throw Me Pennies
So I Could Help Daddy Make Ends Meet
He Said:
Keep On Singing, Don't Stop Singing.
You're Gonna Be A Star Someday.
You're Gonna Make A Lot Of People Happy
When They Come To Hear You Play.
He Said Keep On Singing, Keep The Bells A-Ringing,
Spread Your Music From Town To Town.
There's Not Enough Love In This Old World,
So Spread Your Songs Around.
By The Time I Was Ten Years Old,
I Had A Little Rock And Roll Band.
And Daddy's Eyes Were Growing Dim
But I Didn't Understand.
He Would Be So Proud Of Me
Each Time He'd Hear Us Play.
At Night He'd Call Me To His Side
And Daddy Would Always Say.
He Said:
Keep On Singing, Don't Stop Singing.
You're Gonna Be A Star Someday.
You're Gonna Make A Lot Of People Happy
When They Come To Hear You Play.
He Said Keep On Singing, Keep The Bells A-Ringing,
Spread Your Music From Town To Town.
There's Not Enough Love In This Old World,
So Spread Your Songs Around.
We Didn't Have Much Money
But Things Never Seem So Bad.
I Felt Like The Queen Of The World
When I Was With My Dad.
Then One Rainy April Night,
Daddy Called Me To His Side.
He Held Me There With Trembling Hands
Just Before He Died.
He Said:
Keep On Singing, Don't Stop Singing.
You're Gonna Be A Star Someday.
You're Gonna Make A Lot Of People Happy
When They Come To Hear You Play.
He Said Keep On Singing, Keep The Bells A-Ringing,
Spread Your Music From Town To Town.
There's Not Enough Love In This Old World,
So Spread Your Songs Around.
I Thought My Heart Was Breaking,
Daddy Was My Dearest Friend.
And Everytime I Sing A Song,
I Can Hear Him Say Again.
He Said:
Keep On Singing, Don't Stop Singing.
You're Gonna Be A Star Someday.
You're Gonna Make A Lot Of People Happy
When They Come To Hear You Play.
He Said Keep On Singing, Keep The Bells A-Ringing,
Spread Your Music From Town To Town.
There's Not Enough Love In This Old World,
So Spread Your Songs Around.
He Said:
Keep On Singing, Don't Stop Singing.
You're Gonna Be A Star Someday.
You're Gonna Make A Lot Of People Happy...
