Paul Williams
Loneliness
[Verse 1]
Loneliness takes the romance out of falling stars
Fills the wishing wells and fills the bars
Run and hide the scars of loneliness

[Chorus]
Loneliness makes the winter's night seem twice as long
Makes the summer sunlight much too strong
Nothing's really wrong, it's only loneliness

[Verse 2]
So stay a while
We both have stories that are hungry to be told
Your eyes are warm
But I can feel your hands are cold
But still, they're nice to hold
It only takes a simple yes
The time we spend leaves that much less for

[Chorus]
Loneliness
Like a love song or an old cliche
Has it's hideouts but it's never far away
Look around, you've found it's only loneliness

[Verse 3]
So stay a while
We've worn the night away and now it's almost done
If you could stay up, bit of breakfast might be fun
It's too much work for one
And though it's just a simple guess
We're stronger now we've made the best of
[Chorus]
Loneliness
Waits in silence while the shadows grow
Waits and wonders if it's finally time to go
The yes in our hello said no to
Loneliness

[Outro]
Loneliness
