Lyrics Harry Chapin

Harry Chapin

Everybody's Lonely

All I got is time, nothing else is mine

All I want is you and one more tomorrow

Nothing lasts to long, when I leave it's gone

So I send my mind ahead and hope to follow

Yes, I know I have a lifetime coming

But I've got it all figured out

Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely

Everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about

I've had my share of heartaches, misfortune and mistakes

Occasionally this life has left me battered

But I can't blame no one else, 'cause what I've done to myself

Is the only kind of history that matters

Yes, I know I have a lifetime coming

But I've got it all figured out

Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely

Everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about

Now, maybe you'll come with me and maybe you will stay

And maybe you'll just watch awhile then wander

It seems like all the good things in my life just drift away

But maybe you will stay this time, I wonder

Yes, I know I have a lifetime coming

But I've got it all figured out

Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely

Everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about

That's what it's all about, that's what it's all about
