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

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

They said keep on singing, don't stop singing

You're gonna be a star someday

You're gonna make a lot of peoplе happy

When they come to hеar you play

They 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 that I was ten years old I had a little country band

An 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 seemed so bad

I felt just like the queen of the world when I was with my dad

And then one rainy April night daddy called me to his side

He held me there with tremblin' hands and 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

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

They 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
