THE LONELY HEART

THE LONELY HEART

When the sun goes down and there's no one around,

The lonely heart sits all alone without making a sound.

All the pretty people are out on the town having fun,

While the lonely heart sits at home having none.

There is someone for everyone says the old songs,

But tell that to the lonely heart that's just looking for a place to belong.

The pretty people always have a shiny light that beams.

The lonely heart sits in the dark and goes to a place called dreams.

You can have so much money you don't know what to do.

They say money can't buy love and that is oh so true.

You can have someone that is always there and will never part.

You can be surrounded by a hundred from sunrise till dark and still have a lonely heart.

Even If you're on the road to success that never seems to stop,

Even if you've worked your way all the way to the top,

Like they say, ‘it's lonely at the top,’ right from the very start;

The heart gets hungry for what it needs, but success cannot feed a lonely heart.

Even if you're popular and go to all the right spots,

Even if you're the wild one that makes things rock,

Even if you make the other hearts fall apart,

You can still go home with a lonely heart.

You can live in a mansion or have all your things in a cart.

You can rub elbows with the rich and famous or sleep in the park.

You can be someone that never gets things right or be the one that always hits his mark.

You can be right or wrong; you can be week or strong and still be left with a lonely heart.

The lonely heart searches for love doing what it does best.

Sometimes the lonely heart will search for a lifetime on a futile quest.

The lonely heart knows what it wants and will show its might.

When the lonely heart finds a heart to love it will put up a fight.

Sometimes the lonely heart can find a heart to be with till the day they die.

Sometimes the lonely heart only finds hearts that make them cry.

The lonely heart never gives up and sometime they do things that aren't too smart,

But every night when they close their eyes to dream, they are never lonely hearts.
