"Here as I watch the ships go by,
I'm rooted to my shore,
I keep asking myself why,
And if there's more on the other side.

Here as I see the friends I thought I made,
A little bit crazed and knowing now,
We've outgrown one another.

Starmaker,
Dream breaker,
Soul taker.
We're happy now.

Now when I see the things I want,
I can take the things I see.
But I keep asking myself why,
And if there ain't just a little bit more for me.
Here when it's time to count the cost.
I keep measuring what I've lost,
And wondering if you knew.
It would all end up with you.

Starmaker,
Dream breaker,
Soul taker.
We're happy now.

Here as I watch the time go by.
How I'd like to sail away,
Leaving all my past behind.
But I know I'd only last for a couple of days.
Here stands everything I thought I made.
It's the only life I know,
And I can't even call it my own.
I've got no hope,
I belong to you.

Starmaker,
Dream breaker,
Soul taker,
We're happy now.
We're so happy now.

Starmaker,
Dream breaker,
Soul taker,
We're happy now.
We're so happy now."

"Looking out on the morning rain,
I used to feel uninspired.
And when I knew I had to face another day.
Lord, it made me feel so tired.
Before the day I met you, 
life was so unkind.
But your love was the key,
to peace of mind.

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, 
You make me feel like a natural woman.

When my soul was in the lost-and-found.
You came along to claim it.
I didn't know just what was wrong with me.
Till your kiss helped me name it.
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for.
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more.

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, 
You make me feel like a natural woman.

Oh, baby, what you've done to me.
You make me feel so good inside.
And I just want to be close to you.
You make me feel so alive.

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, 
You make me feel like a natural woman."

I thought the dream would be mine.
Hoping to fly I fall.
Oh how I wish I just didn't care at all.
Because when you don't care you don't cry,
It wont hurt if you don't try.

But I still believe in all of my dreams,
And all that I can be.
I'll learn from mistakes,
Do all that it takes,
To make it eventually.
'Cause I still believe in me.

I'll find an unbreakable heart,
To help me get through this part.
And I swear, I'll never rest,
Till I am standing up there with the very best.
Oh but there's no heart that wont break,
And some times its a heartache.

But I still believe in all of my dreams,
And all that I can be.
I'll learn from mistakes.
Do all that it takes to make it eventually.
Coz I still believe, I still believe,
I still believe in me.

But I still believe in all of my dreams,
And all that I can be.
I'll learn from mistakes,
Do all that it takes, to make it eventually.
Coz I still believe, still believe,
Yes I still believe in me"

 I know the girl sees things Nobody else can see.
All of the secret fears inside,
And all the craziness I hide.
She looks into my soul,
And reads me like nobody can.
And she doesn't judge the man,
She just takes me as I am

Come what may, she believes,
And that faith is something I've never known before.
Come what may, she loves me,
And that love has helped me open a door.
Making me love myself a little more.

When I turn away,
She knows those are the times There's nothing she can say.
Nothing that anyone can do,
And so she lets me live it through.
And when I'm in my darkest hour of uncertainty,
She just simply lets me be.
And goes right on loving me.

Come what may, she believes,
And that faith is something I've never known before.
Come what may, she loves me,
And that love has helped me open a door.
Making me love myself a little more.

And when it seems my dreams,
Have all slipped through my fingers,
When they just can't be found,
I turn around and there they are,
Shining in her eyes.

Come what may, she believes,
And that faith is something I've never known before.
Come what may, she loves me,
And that love has helped me open a door.
Making me love myself a little more."

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind.
The answer is blowin' in the wind. 

Yes, how many years can a mountain exist,
Before it's washed to the sea? 
Yes, how many years can some people exist,
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see? 
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind. 

Yes, how many times must a man look up,
Before he can really see the sky? 
Yes, how many ears must one man have,
Before he can hear people cry? 
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows,
That too many people have died? 
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind."

Someone To Watch Over Me - Instrumental- Karaoke


"Someone To Watch Over Me" - Instrumental / Karaoke Version

Download MP3

"There's a saying old says that love is blind.

Still we're often told "seek and ye shall find".
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind.

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet.
He's the big affair I cannot forget.
Only man I ever think of with regret.

I'd like to add his initials to my monogram.
Tell me where's the shepherd for this lost lamb.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see.
I hope that he turns out to be.
Someone to watch over me.

I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood.
I know I could always be good.
To one who'll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some girls think of 
As handsome to my heart he carries the key.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed.
Follow my lead, oh how I need.
Someone to watch over me.
Someone to watch over me."

"Thanks so very much and welcome to "Step Up To The Mike".

 You know how it works. Tell what's your name and what's on your mind.  Otherwise be quiet, for now and all time. 
How 'bout you, young lady Come on, step up to the mike!"

Everybody needs a friend, it's true.
It takes friends in the end to make the plan come through.
And oh, I want you to know,
That we'll stick together.
And we'll last forever.
Let's take a bow.

(Step up to the mike) 
Thank you very much 
(And say what's on your mind) 
Don't be shy Come on, make some room for the lady.
(Step up to the mike) 

Folks are saying that God is dead,
That's the devil working inside of their heads.
And oh, You gotta know.
My God is a living God.
He's a walking, and talking, and giving God.
And oh I Want you to know.
Who made the blue skies?
So his beautiful birds can fly.
The night and the day, 
The thunder and rain.
Who taught us the truth inside of His name?

Step up to the mike,
And say what's on your mind.

That's the spirit (Step up to the mike).

My friend, you're a lucky man,
You've got friends who will lend you a helping hand.
And oh, I want you to know.
We all need each other, 
To touch one another. 
Right now.

Step up to the mike 
And say what's on your mind.

Check out the band.
We only have time for one more (Step up to the mike).
You sir, come on here and step up to the mike.

I know I'm a lucky man I'm one hundred percent of American,
And oh, I want you to know.
Long as we're together.
We got to last forever.
Together we'll try,
With all of our might.
The whole world is waiting Step up to the mike.

Step up to the mike and say what's on your mind.
Step up to the mike, It doesn't have to rhyme.
Step up to the mike and say what's on your mind.
Step up to the mike It doesn't have to rhyme.
Step up to the mike."

"My friends say I'm a fool, it doesn't matter.

They don't see you as I do.
You're the image of perfection standing there,
With your somewhat studied pose and your very uptown nose.
But I know you'll never hurt me,
And you surely won't desert me,
And I love ya, though everybody stares.

Mannequin,
I love your frozen grin.
Mannequin,
You got it all over most humans.
You're insistent, not too persistent
Mannequin.

I've been in love with colder woman,
but they don't turn me on.
But the first time I saw you standing there,
I could see you had some charm.
And you could really turn it on.
It's a love so warm and tender,
Oh, the joy of sweet surrender.
I love ya, I love ya, I do.

Mannequin,
I love your frozen grin,
Mannequin,
You got it all over most humans,
You're insistent, not too persistent,
Mannequin.

I love ya, I love ya, I do.

Mannequin,
I love your frozen grin.
Mannequin,
You got it all over most humans.
You're insistent, not too persistent,
Mannequin.

I love ya, Mannequin!"

Little girls and little boys are having fun. 
And there'll be dancing in the streets.
Ain't no telling who you'll meet.
Every day is a great day for carnival. 

Every day is a great day for carnival.
Yeah! So come on, everybody. Have some fun.
And if you stay a little while.
You'll be dancing in style.
Every day is a great day for carnival.

And everybody will stand high
As the carnival is passing by.
Every day is a great day for carnival.

There will be dancing in the streets.
Ain't no telling who you'll meet.
Every day is a great day for carnival.
Every day is a great day for carnival.

"I've been alone with you Inside my mind,

And in my dreams I've kissed your lips A thousand times.
I sometimes see you Pass outside my door.
Hello! Is it me you're looking for? 
I can see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile.
You're all I've ever wanted And my arms are open wide.
'cause you know just what to say And you know just what to do.
And I want to tell you so much I love you.

I long to see the sunlight in your hair,
And tell you time and time again How much I care.
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow.
Hello! I've just got to let you know.
'cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely? Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue.
But let me start by saying I love you.

Hello! Is it me you're looking for? 
'cause I wonder where you are And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely? Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart For I haven't got a clue 
But let me start by saying I love you."

"It's no big deal to call the coast, when you're in L.A.
Now you might feel that it's the most, but it just ain't that way. 
Hollywood's no mystery when it's just up the street. 
And meeting stars ain't no big deal 'cause stars are all you meet. 

And the show must go on and on and on. 
You've heard it all before, but here's a new one. 
If it's hot, we'll take a shot and make a deal. 
'Cause the show must go on and on and on. 

Touching fame by dropping names is the game you gotta play. 
I just wrote the hook of life. It's a killer tune, you'll say. 
I spoke to Paul and Linda, but they might not have heard. 
My full page spread in billboard is scheduled August 3rd. 

And the show must go on and on and on. 
You've heard it all before, but here's a new one. 
If it's hot, we'll take a shot and make a deal. 
Does anybody ever know how anybody feels? 

And the show must go on. 
But no one cares unless you're number one. 
And the show must go on and on and on. 
And the show must go on and on."

Fame News



This month is Karaoke Month! With lots of Instrumental or Karaoke versions (with backing vocals) of the songs sung on Fame. As well as the usual mix of Fame goodies. Our fan fiction story "Doris Schwartz: Time and Again" reaches the end of season 3 this month with the final 3 episodes.  



Also this month marks the 30th anniversary of the first issue of The Official Fame Magazine. So each month we will be posting each magazine on line to read in full and updating  the download links for the Zipfiles.



The episode of the month is "Dreams" from season 4 and posts for that start on the 16th.


Carol Burnett releases her book about daughter Carrie Hamilton in April 2013, titled "Carrie and Me". Published by "Barnes and Noble" the publicity states:

"In this beautiful and poignant tribute to her late daughter, award-winning actress and New York Times best-selling author Carol Burnett presents a funny and moving memoir about mothering an extraordinary young woman through the struggles and triumphs of her life. Despite her busy schedule, Carol Burnett always made time for her three young children. But her oldest daughter, Carrie, faltered in adolescence, losing the self-esteem that had fuelled her popularity and success in school and hiding her pain in a downward spiral of addiction. As Carrie became lost to drugs, Carol found herself with a daughter in grave danger and a marriage that was bending under the pressure. 

Carrie eventually broke free from her addiction. Like her mother, she had a wonderful sense of humour and became a successful actress, singer, and writer, even writing a play about Carol’s childhood. But tragedy struck again when Carrie was diagnosed with cancer. 

She died at the young age of thirty-eight, leaving a legacy of kindness, creativity, and joy along with a short story that mirrors her own journey, published for the first time in this book. 

 In Carrie and Me, Carol Burnett shares her personal diary entries and correspondence revealing her anguish as a mother of a troubled teenager, the epiphanies that helped her help her family, and the grief and then the hope she felt after Carrie’s death. Through Burnett’s inimitable voice, we get a portrait of an unforgettable young woman that will bring hope to anyone struggling with raising or losing a child."
