My leading lady is gone And it's so hard to go on Without the part she played My life's just an empty stage Though she's a hard act to follow I thought I'd find somebody by now But she's a hard act to follow Her leavin' brought the whole house down She was so right for the part The way she fit right into my heart After the love she gave Who could ever take her place? 'Cause she's a hard act to follow I thought I'd find somebody by now But she's a hard act to follow Her leavin' brought the whole house down Without the part she played My life's just an empty stage 'Cause she's a hard act to follow I thought I'd find somebody by now She's a hard act to follow Her leavin' brought the whole house down A hard act to follow Her leavin' brought the whole house down
