Gene Pitney - Yesterday's Hero lyrics

Here I stand I'm just a shell of a man And only a kiss ago I was yesterday's hero When you were mine I had it made I was the leader of the big parade Now look at me I'm yesterday's hero, hero How their cheers used to sing in my ears With you walking by my side I was a conquering hero But no one even says hello They say that idols come and idols go Well I oughta know I'm yesterday's hero, hero Now the glamour and the glory's gone But will the story of our love be live on Or fade away like yesterday's hero Like yesterday's hero Yeah yesterday's hero
