Only the Lonely (Live at the Village Gate, NYC) - Chris Connor

Each place I go

Only the lonely go

Some little small cafe

The songs I know

Only the lonely know

Each melody recalls a love that used to be

The dreams I dream

Only the lonely dream

Of lips as warm as May

That hopeless scheme

Only the lonely scheme

That soon somewhere

You'll find a lot that used to care

And you recall each fun time

Those picnics at the beach when love was new

It well may be the one time

A hopeless little dream like that comes true

If you find love hang on to each caress

And never let love go

For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness

The heartbreak only the lonely know
