In a Lonely Place Lyrics
I heard it somewhere that one day all good things come to an end
I turn around to see you, if I do or not it all depends
I was born the day I met you
Lived awhile when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
Yesterday it would’ve mattered
Now today it doesn’t mean a thing
All my hopes and dreams have shattered now
I’m in a lonely place without you
I’m in a lonely place without you
I walk the streets on lonely nights sometimes
And think about you
I look at strangers pass
And wonder how I live without your love
I was born the day I met you
Lived awhile when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
Suddenly this world’s no longer bright
I’m alone, lonely ever night
Won’t you bring back your love that’s out of sight
I’m in a lonely place without you
I’m in a lonely place without you
I was born the day I met you
Lived awhile when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
Yesterday it would’ve mattered
Now today it doesn’t mean a thing
All my hopes and dreams have shattered now
I’m in a lonely place without you
I’m in a lonely place without you
I’m in a lonely place without you, oh no
I’m in a lonely place without you
I turn around to see you, if I do or not it all depends
Lived awhile when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
Now today it doesn’t mean a thing
All my hopes and dreams have shattered now
I’m in a lonely place without you
And think about you
I look at strangers pass
And wonder how I live without your love
Lived awhile when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
I’m alone, lonely ever night
Won’t you bring back your love that’s out of sight
I’m in a lonely place without you
Lived awhile when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
Now today it doesn’t mean a thing
All my hopes and dreams have shattered now
I’m in a lonely place without you
I’m in a lonely place without you, oh no
I’m in a lonely place without you
