I tried to be your friend
All the love I could give to you
All the love in the world
And I could only pretend
That you'd always be my little kid
But the Saturday nights
Can't be out too late
Good things come to those who wait
But I've been waiting forever
There's all the family ties
It's so hard to be rid of you sometimes
So when you're rich and famous
Will you still remember me
Will you remember the good times
All the love from your family
All the pleasures that your money can buy
Know it's only a means to an end
So when you're out on your own
Would you think of me
Every now and then
I try to stay in touch
Nobody answers
And I walk into an empty room again
Can't be disturbed
You're the rising star
In all the offices and living rooms
But to me you're not just the other kind
I'm losing my mind
Losing my mind over how you've been
Know that I'm overwhelmed because
I may never see you again
And all that I ask
Is when you're rich and famous
Will you still remember me
Will you remember the hard times
All the walls that divided our family
Get the feeling that you're stalling for time
I just want you to be happy again
So when you're down on your luck
Would you think of me
Every now and then
So when you're rich and famous
Will you still remember me
Will you remember the hard times
All the walls that divided our family
Get the feeling you're stalling for time
I just want you to be happy again
So if you're down on your luck
Would you think of me
Every now and then
