Somewhere down that lonely track
There's a lover leaving and she won't be back
There's a heart that's breaking as the sun goes down
And the silence of goodbye is such a lonely sound

And as for heartache, I been there before
I've been left knocking outside love's door
Been high and dry, confined to solitary
Just as cold as the wind out on the prairie

But that ain't nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
Well it might come close, but not quite
If the sky lost the stars, and the stars lost their light
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

So I begged the sky for just one cloud
To send the rain pouring down
But if all the angels cried a million tears
And they never let up for a million years

It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
Well it might come close, but not quite
If the sky lost the stars, and the stars lost their light
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight

Well it wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
Well it might come close, but not quite
If the sky lost the stars, and the stars lost their light
It wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
Wouldn't be nothin' like the lonely in my heart tonight
