Jackie Keith Whitley (July 1, 1954 — May 9, 1989), known professionally as Keith Whitley, was an American country music singer. Whitley's brief career in mainstream country music lasted from 1984 until his death in 1989, but he continues to influence an entire generation of singers and songwriters. He charted 19 singles on the Billboard country charts, including five consecutive Number Ones: "Don't Close Your Eyes", "When You Say Nothing at All", "I'm No Stranger to the Rain", "I Wonder Do You Think of Me" and "It Ain't Nothin'" (the last two posthumously). more »

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
