You know, my darling, I can't stand to sleep alone No sweetheart in the dark to call my own You're my own, you're my own, I can sing it, I can grow But the darkness is a stranger In our lonely, lonely, lonely lone Last night's parties and last night's heart has shown Smiling and welling and kissing all I know Give my soul, give my soul, sing it free across the sea Lonely spell to conjure you, but conjure hell is all I do Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me The dream of love is a two-hearted dream Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me The dream of love is a two-hearted dream They say for every heart high There must be a low, low, low, low, low And every sun ascending a lonesome moon Will grow, grow, grow, grow Drive my heart, drive my heart Into the fire of a burning heart's desire The only spells you'll be seeing Do you hear me coming in my blue dream? Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me The dream of love is a two-hearted dream Lonely, lonely, lonely, his mother told me The dream of love is a two-hearted dream Lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely, lonely, lonely
