A Hard Act to Follow Lyrics

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 leaving 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 leaving 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
But she's a hard act to follow
Her leaving brought the whole house down

A hard act to follow
Her leaving brought the whole house down
