Conway Twitty - The Legend And The Man lyrics

rate me

They all reach to touch him<br />

As he walks out on the stage<br />

They came to see the legend<br />

And to hear the legend sing.<br />

<br />

While the men sit there applauding<br />

Ladies love him with their eyes<br />

And he looks just like a legend should<br />

Up there in all those lights.<br />

<br />

But they don't know after the show<br />

How fast the legend fades<br />

How he reaches for the bottle<br />

When guitars are put away.<br />

<br />

And the photograph of the love he had<br />

Fills his trembling hand<br />

There's a lonely world of difference<br />

Between the legend and the man.<br />

<br />

--- Instrumental ---<br />

<br />

He's won all the shiny statues<br />

All the records pressed in gold<br />

But he lost what really matters<br />

What he really wanted most.<br />

<br />

And tonight in some big city.<br />

Lord, he'll drive the crowd insane<br />

They'll feel the pleasure of his songs<br />

But they won't feel his pain.<br />

<br />

'Cause they don't know after the show<br />

How fast the legend fades<br />

How he reaches for the bottle<br />

When guitars are put away.<br />

<br />

And the photograph of the love he had<br />

Fills his trembling hand<br />

There's a lonely world of difference<br />

Between the legend and the man.<br />

<br />

There's a lonely world of difference<br />

Between the legend and the man...
