| There’s a lot of lonely people tonight
|
| Trying to make it through 'til the morning light
|
| There’s me and you, babe, that’s alright
|
| There’s a lot of lonely people tonight
|
| I’m holdin' on tight to my pillow
|
| I wish it had a life of its own
|
| Starin' at the ceilin,' such a funny feelin'
|
| But nobody home
|
| But I know you’re out there somewhere
|
| That you feel the same way too
|
| Now my only problem is trying to find
|
| A way of getting through to you
|
| There’s a lot of lonely people tonight
|
| Trying to make it through 'til the morning light
|
| There’s me and you, babe, that’s alright
|
| There’s a lot of lonely people tonight
|
| I guess we share the same old dream
|
| Or maybe it’s the same old lie
|
| There’s only one thing I’m sure of, now
|
| And that’s our time keeps rolling by
|
| And far too many days run out
|
| And nights begin this way
|
| With my half of our hopeful couple
|
| Trying to hold the dark at bay
|
| There’s a lot of lonely people tonight
|
| Trying to make it through 'til the morning light
|
| There’s me and you, babe, that’s alright
|
| There’s a lot of lonely people tonight
|
| You can meet me on a city street
|
| Or meet me by a country stream
|
| You can meet me on a mountain top, babe
|
| But don’t you meet me in my dreams
|
| You can meet me tomorrow morning
|
| Baby, maybe you met me back when
|
| You can meet me now inside this song
|
| 'Cause I don’t wanna sleep alone again
|
| There’s a lot of lonely people tonight
|
| Trying to make it through 'til the morning light
|
| There’s me and you, babe, that’s alright
|
| 'Cause there’s a lot of lonely people
|
| So many lonely people
|
| There’s a lot of lonely people all over the world
|
| We even lay with children and beautiful girls
|
| Yes, there’s me and you, babe, but that’s alright
|
| 'Cause there’s a lot of lonely people tonight |
