A Legend In My Time Lyrics by Ricky Nelson

Rick Nelson Sings For You

1963

In love's crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If lonliness meant world acclaim
Then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
Over love that's in vain
If lonliness meant world acclaim
Then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
I'd be a legend in my time
