Shirley Bassey - Born To Sing (I Was Born To Sing Forever) lyrics

(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)

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 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

I was born to sing forever

To me that's everything

And until the end of time

I know, I'm born to sing
