I know that it’s your dream to be a star on the screen,
Because you told me from the start.
I know how hard you’ve tried, and I’ve seen the tears you’ve cried,
And now you’ve finally got a part.
So I’m going to set you free from the baby and me
So you can go and make a new start.
Baby, don’t you know that love requires trust
If you want it to be true?
Darling, if you go, our love won’t turn to dust
Unless you want it to.
So you can spread your wings and fly to your dreams,
But remember, dreams don’t always come true.
Darling, if they don’t, you’ll still have both of us,
And we’ll be waiting here for you.
Now that you’re a star, I know that you’ll go far.
I knew you’d make it somehow.
You were up against a wall, but you finally showed them all.
Girl, I never had my doubts.
You’re where you wanted to be, but as for baby and me,
We’re out of the picture for now.
I know you had to roam, but now I hear you’re coming home,
And I can hardly wait until then.
You know, it’s been so long, but in our hearts you’ve done no wrong.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been.
If you really want to be here with the baby and me,
Then darling, I’ll remind you again.
