At night when everything is quiet This old house seems to breath a sight Sometimes I can hear a neighbor snoring Sometimes I can hear a baby cry Sometimes I can hear a staircase creaking Sometimes a distant telephone Oh, and when the night settle down again This old house and I are all alone Lonely house, lonely me Funny with so many neighbors how lonesome you can be Lonely town, lonely street Funny, you can be so lonely With all this folks around I guess there must be something I don't comprehend Sparrows have company Even stray dogs have a friend The night for me is not romantic Unhook the stars and take they down I'm lonely in the lonely town, in this lonely house The night, the night for me is not romantic Unhook stars and take they down I'm lonely in this lonely town, in this lonely house At the night when everything is quiet
