Six Lonely Hours

(Wayne P. Walker - James Coleman)



When the clock strikes one I stare at the door

By the time it reaches two I'm walking the floor

When the hands oh so gently drop down on the three

I'm alone in a world where love used to be.



There are six lonely hours before dawn

And each one is a lifetime since you are gone

I can't face up the living with the sun in the sky

But for six lonely hours I die.



--- Instrumental ---



When the chimes ring out a lonesome old choir

Sweet mem'ries rush in till I can't stand much more

At five all the heartaches I've ever known

Are there right with me that last hour alone.



There are six lonely hours before dawn

And each one is a lifetime since you are gone

I can't face up the living with the sun in the sky

But for six lonely hours I die...
