Years ago I dreamt of the life I'd lead Years ago I thought of the things I'd do Years ago I dreamt of the girl I'd love When I grew older To be a young man To be a grown man To take my place in the world Lonely lonely Lonely lonely Lonely Lonely I'm a lonely a Lonely man I grew up went to work and left my dreams I grew up found that life has hidden sides I grew up tested things with my own hands Then I met a young girl to share my story To love and marry and proudly carry to my home Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely I'm a lonely a Lonely man As years passed I learnt that love doesn't last As years passed I saw life s not what it seems As years passed I have gone back to my dreams But my dreams grew sadder And now I feel old My heart has grown cold And the story is told of my life Lonely oh oh I'm so lonely I'm a lonely a lonely man Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely Lonely I'm a lonely a Lonely man
