Only the Lonely

Each place I go

Only the lonely go

Some little small café

The songs I know

Only the lonely know

Each melody recalls a love that used to be

The dreams I dream

Only the lonely dream

Of lips as warm as May

That hopeless scheme

Only the lonely scheme

That soon somewhere

You'll find the one that used to care

And you'll recall each fun time

Those picnics at the beach when love was new

It well could be the one time

A hopeless little dream like that comes true

If you find love

Hang on to each caress

And never let love go

For when it's gone

You'll know the loneliness, the heartbreak

Only the lonely know
