The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown And that's what it's like to be lonesome with a heart a broken love has taught to cry Yes that's what it's like to be lonesome I know cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy I know cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy ********** (I've tried so hard to learn to live without you but who's to teach me It pleased me to touch you it lightened me to love you It pained me to lose you and it hurts me to hope for your return But perhaps someday somewhere my love)
