Lyrics
ONLY LONELY
Music & lyrics by Mike Knott
Arrangement by Roger Bolt and JoAnna Noble

When I get lonely and there's no one and only there
It's only lonely I'm talking to.
We say some crazy things, we touch on many scenes,
Till there's nothing left to do.
I know just who I am but don't know who I'm talking to.

Too late, tonight, to sleep, to dream, tomorrow.
It's just another day, it comes the same old way for me.

But sunny days are gonna come my way,
Though I can't say when.
Cuz there's no one here to love me,
Lord knows I need a friend, I need a friend.

I don't know how I'm gonna do it,
But I'll keep waiting,
I don't know how I'm gonna do it,
I'll keep waiting.
I don't know how I'm gonna do it,
But I'll keep waiting until then.
I'm only lonely,
Until then.
