I heard the news, they told me on a Sunday Opened my eyes, the skies they turned to gray I count the years, they're goin' so slowly by me Will I ever see you again?
Ooh, it's so lonely Ooh, it's so lonely
When I was young, my daddy always taught me To speak the truth and never tell a lies Now I'm old and no one ever told me The life you live, the truth you can't disguise
Ooh, it's so lonely, babe Ooh, it's so lonely
I always looked but never found a trace I always saw a smile without a face I knew in time that I would find a way I should have started settin' my soul free
I can't make the time, stand still But I will survive, the treason No reason, alive...to cry no more
I've heard your life was filled with hurt and pain I never saw the tears roll down your face There was nothin' left for you to say The day had shocked all your dreams away
Ooh, it's so lonely, babe Ooh, it's so lonely
I always looked but never found a trace I always saw a smile without a face I knew in time that I would find a way I should have started settin' my soul free
I can't make the time, stand still But I will survive, the treason No reason, alive...to cry no more
I'm down and out, I need a friend Who'll be there until the end Wait for me and make my dreams come true Make them all come true
I can't make the time, stand still But I will survive, the treason No reason, alive...to cry no more
To cry no more On and on To cry no more On and on To cry no more
