Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Only The Lonely

Each place I go only the lonely go

Some little 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, hopeless game that only the lonely scheme

That soon somewhere, you’ll find a love that used to care

And you recall each fun time

Those picnics at the beach when love was new

It well could be that one time

That a hopeless, a hopeless little dream like that comes true

If you find love hang on to each caress

And never let love go

Oh, you will know, you’ll know the loneliness

The heartbreak that only the lonely know
