Only You, Lonely You

Andrew Lloyd Webber


One quick smile
And I’m glad I know you
You unlock the secret me that I couldn't see
Only you, lonely you
See me as I am and hope to be

I'm sky high and I long to show you
My whole world is altered
Yet I don't say a thing
Only you, lonely you
Show me how my lonely heart can sing

Look what I missed
I was so blind
You were always in plain sight
Out of my dreams
Into the light
Nothing's the same now
Ev'rything's bright
Ev'rything wrong seems right

All my life
I've been waiting for you
Right beside me all this time but I never knew
Only you, lonely you
And I sense that you can feel it too

Why don't I speak
Say it out loud
Tell you how I really feel?
You were right there
Five feet away
Why was I tongue tied
Ever so dull
When I really want to say

All my life
I've been waiting for you
You were born to change my life but I never knew
Only you, lonely you
And I'll find a way to make you see
Only you can rescue lonely me
