A Hard Act To Follow Lyrics - Keith Whitley

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
