Story behind the song
This is a TRUE Story.
Back in The DAY I was a Star in Central Park.....lol
Lyrics
I’M A STAR IN CENTRAL PARK
I WRITE SONGS TELL MY STORIES
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO HEAR
BUT CANNOT FIND AN AUDIENCE
THAT IS CLEAR
I TRIED TO FIND A GIG
BUT NO ONE HIRED ME
BUT I WON’T GIVE UP
I PRACTICED HARD AT MY GUITAR
AND MEMORISED MY SONGS
BOUGHT NEW STRINGS AND SHINED IT UP
YES I FELT STRONG
THAT PEOPLE WILL LIKE ME
IF ONLY THEY COULD SEE
ME SING MY SONGS
GONNA GO GET MY GUITAR
AND HEAD OUT TO THE PARK
FIND A PLACE UN DER A BIG OLD TREE
AND PLAY TILL DARK
I WILL PLAY FOR FREE
FOR ALL TO SEE
SEE ME
I FOUND A PLACE BY A BIG OLD TREE
AND OPENED UP MY CASE
TOOK OUT MY OVATION
AND PUT ON MY BEST FACE
THIS IS WHERE I’LL START
I’LL PRETEND I’M ON A STAGE
JUST PRETEND
I’LL PLAY MY SONGS WITH ALL MY HEART
AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY
AND HOPE SOME PEOPLE STOP AND LISTEN
AND MAKE MY DAY
I’M GONNA DO MY BEST
AND HOPE I’LL PASS THE TEST
AND I’LL SING MY SONGS
(CHORUS)
I PRETENDED I WAS PLAYING AT A
FANCY CONCERT HALL
MADE BELIEVE IT WAS NOT A PARK
WERE THEY PLAYED BASEBALL
I HAD NO GREAT PA
NO AMP WITH ME TODAY
I WAS ALL ALONE
BUT ONE BY ONE THEY’D STOP AND LISTEN
AND SOME WOULD SMILE MY WAY
THEY’D THROW SOME MONEY IN MY CASE
AND MAKE MY DAY
I WAS A STAR IN CENTRAL PARK
I PLAYED ALL DAY TILL DARK
A STAR IN CENTRAL PARK
