Years ago I dreamt of the life I'd lead
Years ago I thought of the things I'd do
Years ago I dreamt of the girl I'd love
Then I grew older
To be a young man
To be a grown man
To take my place in the world
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
I'm a lonely, a lonely man
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
I'm a lonely, a lonely man
I grew up, went to work and left my dreams
I grew up, found that life has hidden sides
I grew up, tested things with my own hands
Then I met a young girl to share my story
To love and marry and proudly carry to my home
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
I'm a lonely, a lonely man
As years passed I learnt that love doesn't last
As years passed I saw life's not what it seems
As years passed I have gone back to my dreams
But my dreams grew sadder
And now I feel old
My heart has grown cold
And the story is told of my life
Lonely, oh oh I'm so lonely
I'm a lonely, a lonely man
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
I'm a lonely, a lonely man
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
I'm a lonely, a lonely man
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
I'm a lonely, a lonely man
Lonely lonely
Lonely lonely
