Phantom Of The Opry Lyrics - Singles - Daron Norwood

Phantom Of The Opry 

( Written by Billy Lawson / John Schweers / Roger Murrah ) 

Around midnight 

A shadow appears on center stage 

And sings a haunting melody 

While a distant fiddle plays 

Look closer 

You can almost see a rhinestone shining in the dark 

He's still a living legend 

Living right here in my heart 

Chorus: 

He's the phantom of the Opry 

A grand ole spirit from the Ryman days 

He just feels at home here 

He don't really mean to haunt this place 

Every time it rains in Nashville 

They say the angels cry 

'Cause the phantom of the Opry 

Never got to say goodbye 

Some say it's Hank or Lefty 

Or that Kentucky Bluebird flying back again 

No one knows for certain 

But we all know it's more than just the wind 

There's a ghostly sound of steel guitar 

Crying in the night 

Does it come from center stage 

Or from somewhere on the other side 

Chorus: 

He's the phantom of the Opry 

A grand ole spirit from the Ryman days 

He just feels at home here 

He don't really mean to haunt this place 

Every time it rains in Nashville 

They say the angels cry 

'Cause the phantom of the Opry 

Never got to say goodbye 

Around midnight 

A shadow appears on center stage 

And sings a haunting melody 

While a distant fiddle plays
