The world can be a happy place Of stars and cockle shells Of summer things like garden swings Of games and carousels A hundred different pleasures The heart can not forget And yet And yet The world is such as lonely place When you are all alone Your arms reach out to empty space For dreams you’ve never known And in the dawn In silence I explore I see the one I’ve waited for Beyond a slowly closing door Oh please don’t go For this I know I need you so The world’s a lonely place That’s all until you fall in love
