George Jones - The Show's Almost Over Lyrics
He walked up to the bandstand and asked me could an old man sit in,
across his face I saw the pain and felt it in these words I heard him sing.
I can't believe what I see looking back through the years,
so many left over scars from a dreamers career.
I stole from the good life and now it wants payment from me;
Now the show's almost over, let me sing one more song,
lord the world sure looks lonely when the crowd's almost gone.
So children please listen, but don't sing along cause the
mountains we're meeting and the meaning's all wrong.
He said on my way up I didn't want my little woman along,
I was just too busy maybe from the fame that I'd found.
Now the circus is over, somebody please tell the clown,
and darling please forgive me, I'm sorry for letting you down.
Now the show's almost over, let me sing one more song,
lord the world sure looks lonely when the crowd's almost gone.
So children please listen, but don't sing along cause the
mountains we're meeting and the meaning's all wrong.
And the show's almost over.

Absolutely....the best of all time!!!
I love this album, thanks for sharing.
Amazing..thought I had heard all of his songs,but I guess not
I believe there are a whole bunch of Good singers. So Sorry can't say his the best
hell George Jones is one of the best! I ll say it anyway!
And who is better? Frank Sinatra once said George Jones is the second best singer in America. Waylon said all country music singers wished they sounded like George Jones.
the best singer to ever walk in shoe leather
I bought this album in 83' it has always been one of my favorites George made every song his own.Sure miss me some George Jones.
He was the best singer of all times. Once he sang a song he was his and no one could do it like he did
If it was an original George Jones recording, no artist, not even Elvis could outdo his performance.
The greatest country singer of all time. RIP.
this song always makes me think of my dad and me heading up north in his old truck to go fishing,love you dad!
Listen Dad!!! Miss you everyday
Miss you george !
the show is over. the greatest singer has been silenced. the music that he left, though, will live forever
never heard this one..kinda reflects so many lives...thank you for posting...RIP George Jones

hey thanks alot
@gjonesfan1 Read these posts in reverse.
He said on my way up I didn't want my woman around. You see I was too busy bathing in the fame I had found. But now the circus is over. Won't somebody please tell the clown. And darlin please forgive me. I'm sorry for letting you down.
@gjonesfan1
And the show's almost over. Let me sing one more song. The world sure looks lonely now that the crowd's all gone home. And children you listen, but please don't sing along. Cause the mountains are mean boy, and the meaning's all wrong.

He walked up to the band stand and asked me can an old man sit in.
And across his face I felt the pain, and I felt it in these words I heard him sing.
He said I can't believe what I see when I look in life's mirror. There's so many leftover scars from a dreamers carreer. I stold from the good life and now it wants payment from me. And there's nothing but memories and little to give back you see.
I used to be able to hear...lost my hearing when I was 16...I'm trying to find the lyrics to this song and I can't...help please!
I love this song old George at his best.

like you, i'd thought that i had heard every song george had done. anymore, it seems like i find a new one every week or so. it really will be sad when he gives it up.
Dad loved ole George........hate to see parents pass. Love you Dad...I wore this out on the LP.
My new favorite Possum song. It's just amazing how many great songs I still uncover after thinking I have heard all GJ has to offer. More good music has come from him than we may ever see again in ten lifetimes. It will be sad to see him hang it up early next year. Country music just won't be the same without George Glenn Jones. The best ever, period.
