Here I stand I'm just a shell of a man
  And only a kiss ago I was yesterday's hero
  When you were mine I had it made
  I was the leader of the big parade
  Now look at me I'm yesterday's hero, hero
  
  How their cheers used to sing in my ears
  With you walking by my side I was a conquering hero
  But no one even says hello
  They say that idols come and idols go
  Well I oughta know I'm yesterday's hero, hero
  
  Now the glamour and the glory's gone
  But will the story of our love be live on
  Or fade away like yesterday's hero
  Like yesterday's hero
  Yeah yesterday's hero
