Pardon me, if I use you in my dreams.

You throw those angel eyes at me.

Or could the beautiful woman be more than she seems?

But she is not in love with me.

 

All of my life I been looking for someone to carry my love away.

A chip on my shoulder, a misery, suddenly there you are.

Nobody knows, but she knows that I love her.

It's got to be growing.

I can't wait no longer.

 

Life goes on for the lonely man.

When love goes wrong only love knows why

life goes on for the lonely man.

We'll be the dreams, we'll be the seasons,

you and I, I.

 

Suddenly, all the world gets in the way.

You disappear into the crowd.

Maybe the beautiful woman never really came.

But I still call your name out loud.

 

I wanna know you, but I never met you.

Reality can be cruel.

If a wandering soul meets another,

they shouldn't be separated.

 

Better in love with your head on my shoulder.

But I'll never be satisfied.

And if I can't see you,

 

Life goes on for the lonely man.

When love goes wrong, only love knows why

life goes on for the lonely man.

We'll be the dreams, we'll be the seasons,

you and I, I.

 

Living your life in someone else's heart.

A lover's dream that has no end.

There may be somebody you can base your world upon.

I'll never be the same again.

 

And there's a part of me here.

And there's a part of me with you.

But all of me loves you.

Nobody gave me the feeling you gave me.

I'm so proud of

all of my days I will be here for you.

And the love keeps running.

And if I can't hold you.

 

Life goes on for the lonely man.

And there's a million words for the one goodbye.

Life goes on for the lonely man.

We'll be the dreams, we'll be the seasons,

you and I, I.
