Cry softly, lonely one
It's over, it's said, it's done
Don't let your heart break down
He's not the only one
So you're blue, and lonely too
Don't fall apart
And when the teardrops start
You can cry, cry to me, girl
Cry, cry to me, girl
I'll be standing by, I will dry your eyes
But for now, cry softly, lonely one
(Cry softly, lonely one)
Cry softly, lonely one
Your heartaches have just begun
And though they linger on
Carry on, be strong
Your baby's gone, left you alone
But I'll stand by you
All the long nights through
You can cry, cry to me, girl
Come on and cry, cry to me, girl
Don't cry all alone, baby, from now on
You can run to me, come to me
You can cry to me
Tonight and forever, lonely one
