Lonely Girl - Emmylou Harris

It seems to me lately

The days are growing shorter

The years are going faster

And time is flying by I wake up in the morning

And before I even notice

The sun is going down

And I’m left to wonder why

I’m a lonely girl in a lonely world

I never thought my life would be like this

To have no one to hold my hand

And feel once more a sweet caress

I’d give it my best effort

Love is always worth it

But even if I try

I might still end up alone

It may not be in me

To take what love could give me

Some of us are better off

To make it on our own

As a lonely girl in a lonely world

And though my life has been so blessed

I have no one to hold my hand

And feel once more a sweet caress

I’ve had my share of lovers

And cared for many others

I always thought there’d be

Another one to come along

But if love can’t find me again

I’ll put it all behind me then

I’ll just go and learn to sing

Another sad love song

About a lonely girl in a lonely world

She never dreamed her life would be like this

To have no one to hold her hand

And feel once more a sweet caress
