There's A Lot Of Lonely People Tonight |
There’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
Trying to make it through 'til the morning light |
There’s me and you, babe, that’s alright |
There’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
I’m holdin' on tight to my pillow |
I wish it had a life of its own |
Starin' at the ceilin,' such a funny feelin' |
But nobody home |
But I know you’re out there somewhere |
That you feel the same way too |
Now my only problem is trying to find |
A way of getting through to you |
There’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
Trying to make it through 'til the morning light |
There’s me and you, babe, that’s alright |
There’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
I guess we share the same old dream |
Or maybe it’s the same old lie |
There’s only one thing I’m sure of, now |
And that’s our time keeps rolling by |
And far too many days run out |
And nights begin this way |
With my half of our hopeful couple |
Trying to hold the dark at bay |
There’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
Trying to make it through 'til the morning light |
There’s me and you, babe, that’s alright |
There’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
You can meet me on a city street |
Or meet me by a country stream |
You can meet me on a mountain top, babe |
But don’t you meet me in my dreams |
You can meet me tomorrow morning |
Baby, maybe you met me back when |
You can meet me now inside this song |
'Cause I don’t wanna sleep alone again |
There’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
Trying to make it through 'til the morning light |
There’s me and you, babe, that’s alright |
'Cause there’s a lot of lonely people |
So many lonely people |
There’s a lot of lonely people all over the world |
We even lay with children and beautiful girls |
Yes, there’s me and you, babe, but that’s alright |
'Cause there’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
