Lonely City Lyrics
Deep in the heart of a lonely city
I wandered sad and all alone
Then in the heart of a lonely city
I saw the girl that I want for my own
She, just like me, was alone in the city
Searching for someone who really could care
And then in a moment I'd lost my heart
To this lovely young girl who was standing there
Say little girl you've taken my loneliness away
You and your smile have turned my night into day
Oh
Well now in the heart of a lonely city
I'll never wander sad and alone
For by my side and holding my hand
Is this lovely young girl that I've made my own
Say little girl you've taken my loneliness away
You and your smile have turned my night into day
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
