Lonely Girl It seems to me lately The days are growing shorter The years are going faster And time is flying by I wake up in the morning And before I even notice The sun is going down And I'm left to wonder why I'm a lonely girl in a lonely world I never thought my life would be like this To have no one to hold my hand And feel once more a sweet caress I'd give it my best effort Love is always worth it But even if I try I might still end up alone It may not be in me To take what love could give me Some of us are better off To make it on our own As a lonely girl in a lonely world And though my life has been so blessed I have no one to hold my hand And feel once more a sweet caress I've had my share of lovers And cared for many others I always thought there'd be Another one to come along But if love can't find me again I'll put it all behind me then I'll just go and learn to sing Another sad love song About a lonely girl in a lonely world She never dreamed her life would be like this To have no one to hold her hand And feel once more a sweet caress Emmylou Harris
