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
