I heard the news, they told me on a Sunday Opened my eyes, the skies they turned to grey I count the years, the roll so slowly by me Wish I could see you again Ohhh it's so lonely, there Ohhh it's so lonely When I was young my daddy always taught me To speak the truth and never tell lies Now that I'm old and no one ever told me The life you live, the truth you can disguise Ohhh it's so lonely, there Ohhh 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 by 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 heard your life was filled with hurt and pain
I never saw the tears roll down your face There was nothing left for you to say The day had shocked all your dreams away Ohhh it's so lonely, there Ohhh 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 by 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 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
