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..

Lonely...lonely

I'm a lonely, lonely man

I grew up.

Went up walk and 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

Lonely, lonely..

I'm a lonely man,

As years passed

I learnt that love doesn't fast.

As yeras 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...lonely..

Lonely...lonely

I'm a lonely, lonely man
