It's Better Than Being Alone

(Ed Penney)



You're a beautiful woman but you look so sad

All alone at a table for two

Would you mind if I sit down beside you awhile

I'm just as lonely as you.



Let's pretend we were lovers a long time ago

Who happened to meet once again

We'll dance to the jukebox and drink to the past

And we'll talk about what might have been.



Help me find what my arms have been missing

Help me feel your sweet lips on mine

We'll both say I love you although it's not true

But it's better than bein' alone.



Tomorrow I'll go back to lips that are cold

And house that's no longer a home

But tonight I've got nothing but time on my hands

And too much to spend all alone.



Help me find what my arms have been missing

Help me feel your sweet lips on mine

We'll both say I love you although it's not true

But it's better than bein' alone.



Yes, it's better than bein' alone...
