The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
When the sun goes down On my side of town That lonesome feeling Comes to my door The whole world turns blue There's a rundown bar Cross the railroad tracks I've got a table for two Way in the back Where I sit alone And think of losing you I spend most every night Beneath the light Of this neon moon Now if you lose your one and only There's always room here for The lonely To watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon I think of two young lovers Running wild and free I close my eyes And sometimes see You in the shadows Of this smoke-filled room No telling how many tears I've sat here and cried Or how many lies That I've lied Telling my poor heart She'll come back someday Oh, but I'll be alright As long as there's light From a neon moon Oh, if you lose your one and only There's always room here for The lonely To watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon The jukebox plays on Drink by drink And the words of every sad song Seem to say what I think And this hurt inside of me Ain't never gonna end Oh, but I'll be alright As long as there's light From a neon moon Oh, if you lose your one and only There's always room here for The lonely To watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon Watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon Oh, watch your broken dreams Dance in and out of the beams Of a neon moon
