Lyrics Just Another Face In the Crowd - Phyllis Hyman

(Joe Eriksen/Dennis Caldiriola)

La... La... La...
La, la, la, la... La, la...

You... led me to love again
You..., you must have known by then
Your dream would start to take you far away from me
And love was less important than your dream
You're finally found success
I saw you even less
Those midnight calls from concert halls
Increased my loneliness

Now I'm just another face in the crowd
Calling for you to take your bow
And I'm just another face in the crowd
Crying inside, cheering out loud
For you

You..., you were the very best
And you... Oo... Oo...
You turned out like the rest
You told me that our love will live in history
And then you went away to be a star
I'd spend each night alone
Pretending that you'd phone
Your history was poetry
I guess I should have known

I'll be just another face in the crowd
Calling for you to take your bow
And I'm just another face in the crowd
Crying inside, cheering out loud
For you...

La, la, la, la... ahh...
Dee-dee... ee... ee...
La, la, la, la...

You told me that our love will live in history
And then you went away to be a star
I'd spend each night alone
Pretending that you'd phone
Your history was poetry
I guess I should have known

I'll be just another face in the crowd
Calling for you to take your bow
And I'm just another face in the crowd
Crying inside, cheering out loud

Oh, I'm just another face in the crowd
Calling for you to take your bow
Come on, and take a bow
Just another face in the crowd
Whoa, crying inside and I'm cheering out loud
To taking your bow...

Just another face in the crowd
Calling for you to take your bow
Whoa-oh... oh...
Just another face in the crowd
Crying inside, cheering out loud
