years ago,
i dreamt of the life i'd lead
years ago,
i thought of the things i'd do
years ago,
i dreamt of the girl i'd love
when i grew older
to be the young man
to be the grown man
to take my place in the world
lonely... lonely...
i'm a lonely, lonely man
lonely... lonely...
i'm a lonely, lonely man
i grew up,
went to walk an left my dreams.
i grew up,
found than life has hidden sides
i grew up,
tested things with my own hands
then i met the young girl,
to share my story,
to love and marry,
and proudly carry to my home
lonely... lonely...
i'm a lonely, lonely man
lonely... lonely...
i'm a lonely, lonely man
as years passed
i learnt that love doesn't last.
as years passed,
i saw life's not what it seems.
as years passed,
i have gone back to my dreams.
but my dreams grew sadder,
and know i feel old.
my heart has grown cold,
and the story's told of my life.
lonely...
oh...oh, i'm so lonely
i'm lonely...
lonely man
