Everybody used to say we were perfect together but we're lonely together now

Once upon a time you and I were so in love

The whole wide world was gay and happy then

I don't know how or why our love began to die till it vanished like a straw in the wind

We're side by side but we're lonely together clinging to the pieces of a vow

Everybody used to say we were perfect together but we're lonely together now

[ steel ]

It's a mighty big roof that we've nailed upon our house

For it stretches from your world to mine

Though it keeps out the rain what about the pain

And the tears that keep on falling all the time

We're side by side...

But we're lonely together now
