Lyrics
I can remember when we walked together
Sharing a love I thought would last forever
Moonlight to show the way so we can follow
Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow
Then something changed her mind, her kisses told me
I had no loving arms to hold meEvery day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Knowing that it’s cloudy above
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without loveI cannot face this world that’s fallen down on me
So if you see my girl please send her home to me
Tell her about my heart that’s slowly dying
Say I can’t stop myself from cryingEvery day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I wake up then I start to break up
Knowing that it’s cloudy above
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without loveEvery day I wake up then I start to break up
Lonely is a man without love
Every day I start out then I cry my heart out
Lonely is a man without love
