| I heard the news, they told me on a Sunday | |
| Opened my eyes, the skies they turned to gray | |
| I count the years, they're goin' so slowly by me | |
| Will I ever see you again? | |
| Ooh, it's so lonely | |
| Ooh, it's so lonely | |
| When I was young, my daddy always taught me | |
| To speak the truth and never tell a lies | |
| Now I'm old and no one ever told me | |
| The life you live, the truth you can't disguise | |
| Ooh, it's so lonely, babe | |
| Ooh, it's so lonely | |
| I always looked but never found a trace | |
| I always saw a smile without a face | |
| I knew in time that I would find a way | |
| I should have started settin' my soul free | |
| Can't make no time stand still | |
| I will survive for treason | |
| No reason, alive to cry no more | |
| I've heard your life was filled with hurt and pain | |
| I never saw the tears roll down your face | |
| There was nothin' left for you to say | |
| The day had shocked all your dreams away | |
| Ooh, it's so lonely, babe | |
| Ooh, it's so lonely | |
| I always looked but never found a trace | |
| I always saw a smile without a face | |
| I knew in time that I would find a way | |
| I should have started settin' my soul free | |
| Can't make no time stand still | |
| I will survive for treason | |
| No reason, alive to cry no more | |
| I'm down and out, I need a friend | |
| Who'll be there until the end | |
| Wait for me and make my dreams come true | |
| Make them all come true | |
| Can't make no time stand still | |
| I will survive for treason | |
| No reason, alive to cry no more | |
| Can't make no time stand still | |
| I will survive for treason | |
| [Incomprehensible] my mind just thinkin' of you |
