1980 (Amsterdam Concert for TV)

The song, If I Never Sing Another Song, was recorded and released on Shirley's 1976 LP titled, "Shirley Bassey - Love, Life, and Feelings"

LYRICS::

In my heyday

Young men wrote to me

Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me

Everyone I saw all swore they knew me

Once upon a song

Main attraction,

couldn't buy a seat

The celebrity, celebrities were dying to meet

I've had every accolade bestowed on me

And so you see

If I never sing another song

It wouldn't bother me

I had my share of fame

You know my name

If I never sing another song

Or take another bow

I would get by, but I'm not sure how

Always posing, but you love it all

Though you have to learn to act like you're above it all Everything I did the world applauded

Once upon a star

Framed citations, hung on every wall

Got a scrapbook full of quotes,

I can recall them all

There were times I felt the world belonged to me

And so you see

If I never sing another song It wouldn't bother me

I had my share of fame You know my name

If I never sing another song Or take another bow

I would get by, but I'm not sure how

But I'm not sure how

But I'm not sure how

A wonderful version of Shirley here. This song was composed by the Austrian-German Udo Jurgens (alias Bockelmann). Everybody who's fascinated of that song should also listen to the first published one by Al e x a n d r a and afterwards by Udo Jurgens himself and in nowadays by Marianne Rosenberg or Jasmin Wagner too. Fabolous!

I speak German and the English lyrics are definately not a translation of the original German words.

@Humanahum The English words were written for Connie by Don Black who wrote other songs for Connie. He sent it to Connie during a period when she was not performing.

@Shrinksjp I don't think so! It was written by Udo Jürgens and translated for Matt Monro by Don Black - who was Matt Monro's manager! He translated a few songs at Matt's request - Walk Away was the first - then Softly and this one - another one too but that escapes me! - Connie Francis indeed! I stand corrected aboutthe Softly one - that was Itallian! the Udo Song was "For Mama"
