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
|
