keep on singing

Lyrics

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 i started singing in the streets, people would throw me pennies so i could 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 people happy, when they come to hear you play, they said keep on singing keep the bells a ringing, spread the music from town to town, there's not enough love in this old world so spread your song around, by the time that i was ten years old i had a little country band, 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'd say keep on singing don't stop singing. he didn't have much money but things didn't seem 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 his tremblin' hands right before he died, he said keep on singing don't stop singing. keep on singing don't stop singing.
