Each place I go, only the lonely go Some very 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 The hopeless schemes Only the lonely scheme That soon somewhere you'll find the love that used to care And you'll recall each fun time Those picnics at the beach when love was new It well could be the one time A hopeless little dream like this come true 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 heartache, only the lonely Only the lonely know
