Let Me Be Your Star (SMASH Cast Version) [feat. Katharine McPhee & Megan Hilty]

Fade in on a girl With a hunger for fame And a face and a name to 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 she'll think twice Of the dues and the price She'll have to pay (she'll have to pay) But not today (but not today) Then she'll do all she can For the love of one man And for millions who love from afar I'm what you've been needing It's all here and my heart's pleading "Let me be your star!"
