paroles de chanson The Show's Almost Over - George Jones

He walked up to the band stand and asked me could an old man sing?
Across his face I saw the pain and I felt it in his words I heard him sing
I can't believe what I see looking back through the years
So many leftover scars from a dreamers career
I stole from the good life now it wants payments from me
I've nothing but memories and these to give back you see
And the shows almost over, let me sing one more song
For the world sure looks lonely when the crowd is almost gone so children please listen but don't sing along cuz the mountains were mean when and meaning all wrong
He said on my way up I didn't want my little woman around
I was just always too busy bathing in the fame I have found
Now the circus is over somebody please tell the clown
And darling please forgive me I'm sorry for letting you down
And the shows almost over let me sing one more song for the world sure looks lonely when the crowd is almost gone so children please listen but don't sing along cuz the mountain were mean and the meaning is all wrong
And the show is almost over!
