About

One of Leonard Bernstein’s most glorious compositions is this song from the musical On the Town. Here, the hero Gabey is a U.S. Navy sailor on 24-hour shore leave in New York City. He finds that he has more trouble impressing women there than on his ship and admits to feeling lonely in the big city.

Lonely Town Lyrics

[GABEY]
Gabey's comin', Gabey's comin' to town
So what? Who cares?
Back on the ship it seemed such a snap
You'd tap a girl on the shoulder
She'd turn around
And she'd say "I love you"
But once on shore, it's not such a snap
You get the cold shoulder
The old runaround
You're left with no one but you
Gabey's comin', Gabey's comin' to town

A town's a lonely town
When you pass through
And there is no one waiting there for you
Then it's a lonely town
You wander up and down
The crowds rush by
A million faces pass before your eye
Still, it's a lonely town

Unless there's love
A love that's shining like a harbor light
You're lost in the night
Unless there's love
The world's an empty place
And every town's
A lonely town

Unless there's love
A love that's shining like a harbor light
You're lost in the night
Unless there's love
The world's an empty place
And every town's
A lonely town
