tears of the lonely

Singer:gilley, mickey

faded pictures

yellow from time

well worn memories of days gone by

needing someone and nobody's there

these are the things broken dreams are made of

lord they're everywhere

oh

the tears of the lonely

keep falling all the time

oh

tears of the lonely

they never dry

another nighttime that just never ends

a helpless longing for what might have been

another morning to face all alone

these are the things broken dreams are made of

they go on and on

oh

the tears of the lonely

keep falling all the time

oh

tears of the lonely

they never dry

oh

the tears of the lonely

keep falling all the time

oh

the tears of the lonely

they never dry
