Somewhere down that lonesome track

There's a lover leavin' and he won't be back

And there's a heart that's breakin' as the sun goes down

And the silence of goodbye is such a lonesome sound



And as for heartache, I've been there before

I've been left knockin' outside love's door

I've been high and dry, couldn't find solitary

Just as cold as the wind out on the prarie



But that ain't nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Well, it might come close, but not quite

If the sky lost the stars and stars lost their light

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight



I begged the sky for just one cloud

To send the rain fallin' down

But if all the angels cried a million tears

And they never let up for a million years



That ain't nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Well, it might come close, but not quite

If the sky lost the stars and the stars lost their light

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight



It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Well, it might come close, but not quite

If the sky lost the stars and the stars lost their light

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
