lyrics

You spent your life in the shadows of shining stars
Here at the end not a soul recalls who you are
You didn’t mind being just one more face in the crowd
You never once objected and never stood out

You were always the cat that ate the canary
But you never could shed your stripes
And I've never seen some one so happy
To live such a sad sad life

And you were always so sincere
You never worried bout how you would get there from here
And when it never seemed work out the way you planned
You’d pack your life up in your bag and you’d start again

(You spent your life)
You spent your life in the shadows of shining stars
(You spent your life your life)
Here at the end not a soul recalls who you are
(You spent your life)
You didn’t mind being just one more face in the crowd
(You spent your life your life)
You never once objected and never stood out

(You spent your life)
You were always the cat that ate the canary
(You spent your life your life)
But you never could shed your stripes
(You spent your life)
And I've never seen some one so happy
(You spent your life your life)
To live such a sad sad life

And right now my heart is breakin'
To know it won’t turn out right
I've never seen some one so happy
To live such a sad sad life
And I know that it hurts you to see me
I did you wrong I should have made you my wife
Maybe you could have helped me be happy
To live in my sad sad life
