Lonely Is

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)



Lonely is a rainy day

When home is something far away

And someone special's on your mind

You'd sure love to see.



Lonely is a call to home

When no one's there to catch the phone

And nighttime seems to have no dawn

And you don't have a friend.



Lonely is a feeling

That strips your conscience bare

A state of mind you can't explain

But still you know it's there.



Lonely is a city street

That's lost the sound of shuffling feet

And empty thing that touches you

and makes you wanna cry.



Lonely is a house for two

When no one's living there but you

Happiness turned inside out

That's what lonely is.



Happiness turned inside out

That's what lonely is...
