Lonely Is A Man Without Love

Al Martino · Feelings [2011]

I can remember when we walked together

Sharing a love I thought would last forever

Moonlight to show the way so we can follow

Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow

Then somethin' changed her mind, her kisses told me

I had no lovin' arms to hold me



Every day I wake up, then I start to break up

Lonely is a man without love

Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out

Lonely is a man without love



Every day I wake up, then I start to break up

Lonely is a man without love

Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out

Lonely is a man without love



I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me



So, if you see my girl please send her home to me

Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying

Say I can't stop myself from crying



Every day I wake up, then I start to break up

Lonely is a man without love

Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out

Lonely is a man without love



Every day I wake up, then I start to break up

Knowing that it's cloudy above

Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out

Lonely is a man without love



Every day I wake up, then I start to break up

Lonely is a man without love

Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out

Lonely is a man without love
