Alone and Lonely
A collaboration of inspiration from Mud, Dusty Springfield and the Salvation Army Christmas advertisement.
Random but true.
If you're interested, I say it in 3/4 time. I've a tune but not the notes (that doesn't make sense. Unless you understand. In which case it does.)
As you were.
I would write you a letter,
But you would not reply,
I know half a dozen roses,
Wouldn't catch your eye,
I'd write you a love song,
With words meant just for you,
But you're not for me,
And there's nothing I can do,
There's a difference between alone and lonely,
When the one who is your one and only,
Lies in another's arms, safe from your charms,
And you miss him, all alone and so lonely,
I could save up all my kisses,
They'd never see the light,
I'd wait for you in dreams,
But you'd fail me every night,
I could paint you a picture,
Just to say that I love you,
But you took my heart,
And you broke it in two,
There's a difference between alone and lonely,
When the one who is your one and only,
Lies in another's arms, safe from your charms,
And you miss him, all alone and so lonely,
When it's cold, in the rain,
And I'm there once again,
The streetlights shining above,
See the light, hear the phone,
So I know you're at home,
I'm just playing the fool in love,
There's a difference between alone and lonely,
When the one who is your one and only,
Lies in another's arms, safe from your charms,
And you miss him, all alone and so lonely,
"If you were me, then I'd be you, and if I were you, I'd hide somewhere faraway..."
