LYRICS - Born To Sing Forever: (live Shirley Bassey begins with the refrain before the first verse) When the spotlight hits my face, I'm alive The stage is were I'll always survive The only place that I want to be When I hear the audience coming in I feel the magic starts to begin And then I know they come to see me When I hear the maestro strike up the band And the drums begin to play It's the only way that I understand To live my life each day Refrain: I was born to sing forever Born to sing for you And as long as were together There's nothing else I want to do I was born to sing forever To me that's everything And until the end of time I know, I'm born to sing (live Shirley Bassey repeats the refrain here and then ends without the second verse) 2nd verse: When the rhythm start to beat in my brain I sing the verse and then the refrain And love to hear the sound of applause When the crowd appreciate what I do I find that each performance is new I go on singing that is because There are those who think I'm wasting my time They say that's life's not just a song But as long as there is music and rhyme I know where I belong I was born to sing forever Born to sing for youA nd as long as were together There's nothing else I want to do I was born to sing forever To me that's everythingA nd until the end of time I know, I'm born to sing I was born to sing forever To me that's everything And until the end of time I know, I'm born to sing
