Keep On Singing

Keep on singing, don't stop singing You're gonna be a star some day You're gonna make a lot of people happy When they come to hear you play 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 6 years old Started singin' in the streets People would throw me pennies So I could help daddy make ends meet He said, "Keep on singin' Don't stop singin' 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 singin' Keep the bells a ringin' Spread the music from town to town There's not enough love in this old world So spread your song around" By the time that I was 10 years old I had a little rock 'n' roll band 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 pull me to his side And daddy would always say He said, "Keep on singin' Don't stop singin' 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 singin' Keep the bells a ringin' Spread the music from town to town There's not enough love in this old world So spread your song around" He didn't have much money But things didn't seem so bad I felt just 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 with his tremblin' hands Right before he died He said, "Keep on singin' Don't stop singin' 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 singin' Keep the bells a ringin' Spread the music from town to town There's not enough love in this old world So spread your song around" He said, "Keep on singin' Don't stop singin' 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 singin' Keep the bells a ringin' Spread the music from town to town There's not enough love in this old world So spread your song around" He said, "Keep on singin' Don't stop singin' You're gonna be a star someday
