It Gets Lonely Early

Lyrics

When you're all alone All the children grown And, like starlings, flown away It gets lonely early, doesn't it? Lonely early, doesn't it? Ev'ry single endless day When your twilight nears And one face appears Turning winter years to May It gets lonely early, doesn't it? Lonely early, doesn't it? Still the old heart's young enough to say "It was really more than lovely, wasn't it? "Truly lovely, wasn't it?" Strings Ev'ry single lovely day
