Know who your friends are Though they're many we're sure Don't turn your back on yesterday Think of the good times, remember the bad Don't turn your back on yesterday Times change like people as years roll on by Even though you pretend that they don't Your name's up in lights You're the star of the day But don't forget that your crown's out on loan Newspaper stories distorting your moves Allow the watching world a smile Polite conversations with people you never knew Your name's up in lights You're the star of the day
But don't forget that your crown's out on loan Monday morning brings you down to earth Plant your feet back on the ground Weekend dreams disappearing overnight Steal away without a sound Where's the friends that you found Steal away without a sound Time tells the tale What happens not now But you're much older than before New situations may never arise But you're much older than before Your name's up in lights You're the star of the day But don't forget that your crown's out on loan
