HARD ACT TO FOLLOW WRITERS DAVID CHAMBERLAIN, GARY NICHOLSON 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.

She was so right for the part The way she fit into my heart After the love she gave Who could ever take her place? 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. 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...
