A Lonely Place

The world can be a happy place

Of stars and cockle shells

Of summer things like garden swings

Of games and carousels

A hundred different pleasures

The heart can not forget

And yet

And yet

The world is such as lonely place

When you are all alone

Your arms reach out to empty space

For dreams you’ve never known

And in the dawn

In silence I explore

I see the one I’ve waited for

Beyond a slowly closing door

Oh please don’t go

For this I know

I need you so

The world’s a lonely place

That’s all until you fall in love
