Look at me now   A shadow of the man I used to be   Look through my eyes   And through the years of loneliness you'll see      To the times in my life   When I could not bear to lose a simple game   And the least of it all   Was the fortune and the fame      But the dream seemed to end   Just as soon as it had begun, was I to know?   For the last thing of all that was on my mind   Was the close at the end of the show      The shadow of a lonely man   Feels nobody else   In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man   I can see myself      Looking out of nowhere   Looking out of nowhere      But the sound of the crowds   When they come to see me now is not the same   And the jest of it all   Is I can't recall my name      But I cling to a hope   Till I can't hold on anymore, anymore   And for all the acclaim, I am all alone   And I see as I look through the door      The shadow of a lonely man   There's nobody else   In the shadow of a lonely, lonely man   I can see myself      Look at me now   A shadow of the man I used to be
