A music one, what is this song?

[RainingCatsandfrogs]

I have a song in my head, it's about a woman who loved a man before he became famous and since left her behind. She was there with him when he was at the bottom, but since he became successful he never looked back. It's a sweet song she's kind of wishing him well, but sad as well.
I thought it might be Gladys knight but not sure of the title.
It is driving me nuts.
Can't find it on google with info l have.
It is an old song, maybe 70s.

I have a really early start tomorrow, should have been in bed hours ago, but thank you in advance to any replies.

Is it " the way we were?"

Is it "Remember me" Diana Ross?

I guess its not this but those lyrics remind me of Skater Boi by Avril Lavigne!

Where do you go to my lovely?

Superstar by The Carpenters?

I thought Superstar too.

Frankie by Sister Sledge?

Sounds like it could be a Dolly Parton song, but don't know off hand which one it would be if it is her.

Sounds like it could be Midnight Train to Georgia.

He didn't become famous however....he left for LA to pursue his dreams, but it "proved too much for the man...."

"He kept dreaming
(Dreaming)
Oh, that someday he'd be a star
(A superstar, but he didn't get far)
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don't always come true (dreams don't always come true)
Oh no (uh-uh, no, uh-uh)"

I adore this song.

Come on op! Put us out of our misery!

“Where do you go to my lovely” is not at all like this story?

I thought Midnight Train but it’s sort of the opposite to what OP is describing!

It's doing my head in!

'If You're Looking For A Way Out' Odessey??

Yes, where is OP?!

I still think it's The Carpenters!

I had the same thought when I read the OP 😂

@RainingCatsandfrogs
Come on!

I immediately thought "Don't you want Me" by The Human League, but I see I've got the sexes mixed up!

Sorry for delay,
No not any of the above, thank you for trying.
If l find it l will let you know, definately singer like Gladys, Aretha, etc, l will keep looking. I am determined to find it.

Doesnt quite fit but Wind Beneath My Wings has a similar theme from the other side

I found it, finally.
Randy Crawford, When Your life Was low.

Thanks everyone.
