Only the Lonely
Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen
[Verse 1]
Each place I go, only the lonely go
Some little small café
The songs I know, only the lonely know
Each melody recalls a love that used to be
The dreams I dream
Only the lonely dream of lips as warm as May
[Verse 2]
That hopeless scheme
Only the lonely scheme
That soon somewhere
You'll find the one that used to care
And you'll recall each fun time
Those picnics at the beach when love was one
It well could be the one time
A hopeless little dream like that comes true
[Outro]
If you find love
Hang on to each caress
And never let love go
For when it's gone
You'll know the loneliness
The heartbreak only the lonely know
