Lyrics

[Intro] I'd like to dedicate this song To, um, everyone who has someone special in their life We should learn to cherish and appreciate what we have now (yes we should) Because at any point in time it can be snatched away from us [Verse 1] Now I figure with a trigger I can end this all I could finish my past, before I could fall Staring in the mirror like so many have done Trying to solve my problem down the barrel of a gun Thinking to myself, "What kind of grief and sorrow Would have a human being forfeiting tomorrow?" While in my eyes, a lonely tear escaped In my mind, well, my past reshaped I shook, I shivered, I began to quiver Wondering if I could ever forgive her For leaving me with a broken heart My spirit and soul were torn apart My blue skies gray, my future lost The present full of pain and remorse For leaving me the way I am By myself. Forever, a lonely man [Chorus] He can't go on no more You're all he's living for The precious times you shared Now all that has disappeared He can't go on when love is gone Dana Dane is just a lonely man [Verse 2] Now it was one of those nights, like any other night Except we planned to have dinner by candlelight Now, I'm in the shower getting refreshed And my girl, she's in the kitchen having the table dressed Then she calls out, "Dane, I'll be back in a few I have to run to the store on the avenue." I jokingly replied, "Well, I'll be waiting like this" "Stop being so fresh", she said, "and blow me a kiss" *kissing* With this, she was on her way I said, "Hurry back honey, hurry back, okay?" Now hours had passed and she wasn't back Now I was getting worried. Now where's she at? That's when the phone rang, *bring* *bring* "Where the hell are you?", I concernedly screamed But it wasn't her, no it was the police An 88th precinct, a Detective Reese He said, "Is this the home of a Linda MacGyver? There's been an accident involving a drunk driver Stunned, confused, I listened in awe Before he could finish, I burst out the door I dashed to the hospital with no time to spare Thinking to myself that it just isn't fair In the Emergency, there I was informed She had a fifty-fifty chance and her will is strong In the waiting room back and forth I paced As pools of tears ran down my face Thinking to myself the things I loved about her Telling myself that I can't go an without her And why I should have to? It just isn't right For my future to be shattered in just one night But she'll pull through, she'll understand Without her here, I'm forever a lonely man [Chorus] He can't go on no more You're all he's living for The precious times you shared Now all that has disappeared He can't go on when love is gone Dana Dane is just a lonely man Ooooh Lonely man Lonely man Dana Dane is just a lonely man [Verse 3] The Doc came in, his face revealing nothing I pleaded to him, "Please, Doc. Now tell me something" He lowers his head, afraid to face my tears And what he told me next was that of my worst fears I couldn't believe it as I fell to my knees "Oh no, Lord. It can't be! Oh no, Lord. Please!" Now I stand here contemplating my end But to take my own life, would that make things right? Nah, if she was here I know she'd say "Keep your head up Ba' tomorrow's a new day" Yeah, I'm gonna try to start all over It's gonna be hard, I'll try But I'll still be a lonely man [Chorus] He can't go on no more You're all he's living for The precious times you shared Now all that has disappeared He can't go on when love is gone Dana Dane is just a lonely man He can't go on no more You're all he's living for The precious times you shared Now all that has disappeared He can't go on when love is gone Dana Dane is just a lonely man
