Only The Lonely

Only The Lonely

music by Jimmy Van Heusen

lyric by Sammy Cahn

Each place I go, only the lonely go, some little small cafe.

The songs I know, only the lonely know,

Each melody recalls a love that used to be.

The dreams I dream, only the lonely dream, of lips as warm as May.

That hopeless scheme, only the lonely scheme, that soon somewhere

You'll find the one that used to care.

And you recall each fun time, those picnics at the beach when love was new,

It well could be the one time, a hopeless little dream like that comes true...

If you find love, hang on with each caress, and never let love go,

For when it's gone, you'll know the loneliness,

The heartbreak only the lonely know...
