Only the Lonely

Only the Lonely - Shirley Horn

Written by：Jimmy Van Heusen

Each place I go

Only the lonely go

Some very small cafe

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

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 new

It well could be

The one time

A hopeless little dream like that comes 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 heartbreak

Only the lonely know
