Gene Pitney - Yesterday's Hero lyrics

rate me

Here I stand I'm just a shell of a man<br />

And only a kiss ago I was yesterday's hero<br />

When you were mine I had it made<br />

I was the leader of the big parade<br />

Now look at me I'm yesterday's hero, hero<br />

<br />

How their cheers used to sing in my ears<br />

With you walking by my side I was a conquering hero<br />

But no one even says hello<br />

They say that idols come and idols go<br />

Well I oughta know I'm yesterday's hero, hero<br />

<br />

Now the glamour and the glory's gone<br />

But will the story of our love be live on<br />

Or fade away like yesterday's hero<br />

Like yesterday's hero<br />

Yeah yesterday's hero</
