Song Description

A man has a dream of being a star and he is in a bad accident and isn't able to acheive his dream.

Lyrics

He once played the circuit of small towns and bars
The opening show for all the big stars
Well past his prime, he?s long paid his dues
But he still had a dream to be a star too

One night in Virginia, he?d just left a show
But fate, it was waiting on a dark, lonely road
A drunkard would change his life on that day
His dream of a star would all fade away

Chorus
The wreck took his eyes and crippled his hands
Turned the dream of a star into a lonely, old man
There isn?t much left of his life it seems
But a lifetime of memories, and an old faded dream

Alone in his room his days are now spent
The visits are few, close family and friends
At night as he sleeps, he?s a star up on stage
When morning light comes, with the dark his dream fades

Chorus
The wreck took his eyes and crippled his hands
Turned the dream of a star into a lonely, old man
There isn?t much left of his life it seems
But a lifetime of memories, and an old faded dream
But a lifetime of memories, and an old faded dream
