Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
Know this feelin' ain't right (dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah)
There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart
But only the lonely
Know why
I cry
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah
Ooh-yay-yay-yay-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-wah
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Only the lonely
Know the heartaches I've been through
Only the lonely
Know I cry and cry for you
Maybe tomorrow
A new romance
No more sorrow
But that's the chance - You gotta take
If your lonely heart breaks
Only the lonely
Dum-dum-dum-dumdy-doo-wah

Bye bye love Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy I sure am blue
She was my baby 'tlll he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been
Bye bye love Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die
Bye bye my love goodbye
I'm free from romance I'm through with love
I'm through with counting the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My loving baby is through with me
Bye bye love Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness I think I'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love goodbye
Bye bye my love goodbye

(Churchill Kohlman)
If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It's no secret you'll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream
Don't you sometimes think it's real?
But it's only false emotions that you feel
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your hair down and go on and cry
. . .

Blue Avenue
Where I spend my lonely days without you
Blue Avenue
Why did you go and tell me we were through?
You've stolen my heart and my love
And now you say we're through
I'm walkin' down
Yeah, walkin' down on Blue Avenue
Oh, Blue Avenue
Yeah I'm feeling so bad
Blue Avenue
I lost the very best woman that I ever had
Alone so alone
But I pray that someday I'll find you
Down at the end
Down at the end of Blue Avenue
Oh, Blue Avenue
Yay yay I'm feeling so bad
Blue Avenue
I lost the very best woman that I ever had
Alone so alone
But I pray
That someday I'll find you
Down at the end
Down at the end of Blue Avenue

Those happy hours that we once knew,
Though long ago, still make me blue.
They say that time heals a broken heart.
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop loving you
So I've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of old lone-some times.
I can't stop wanting you
It's use-less to say.
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday.
Those happy hours that we once knew,
Though long ago, still make me blue.
They say that time heals a broken heart.
But time has stood still since we've been apart.
I can't stop loving you,
There's no use to try.
Pretend ther's some one new;
I can't live a lie.
I can't stop wanting you
The way that I do.
Ther's only been one love for me,
That one love is you.

Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
Come back to me
16 years ago today early one Sunday morn
Just before the break of day a cute little girl was born
From that very moment on her life's been gay and free
Laughing eyes and loving ways as sweet as she could be
Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
come back to me
We had a quarrel I can't forget the night I made her cry
Her tender heart just fell apart as she said good-bye
Now today is her birthday my baby's sweet 16
But someone else is in my place to hold my every dream
Bum bum bum da de da oh oh oh yeah yeah
Bum bum bum da de da ah come back to me my love
come back to me

Sha la la, dooby wah
Dum dum dum, yeh yeh um
Oh blue angel, don't you cry
Just because he said goodbye
Oh, ahh ahh ahh
No don't cry
Oh blue angel, have no fear
Brush away lonely teardrops
Hey hey, whoa whoa
Well love's precious flame can just burn in vain
But you're not to blame
You thought love was a game and it's oh such a shame
But don't you cry, don't sigh, I'll tell you why
I'll never say goodbye blue angel

Don't you worry your pretty head
I'll never let you down
I'll always be around
Blue angel
Sha la la, dooby wah

Raindrops, Raindrops
I look out my window and what do I see
Raindrops, Raindrops
they mark the pathway to my destiny
Raindrops, Raindrops
Yes rain like the tears that fell from my heart
the day you said we'd have to part
and now what's left for me to do
but watch those raindrops and cry over you
Instrumental
You've stolen my love and my heart away
Raindrops, Raindrops
And I'll feel the same for the rest of my days
Raindrops, Raindrops
Well I've tried yes I've tried I want you to know
I did what you asked I loved you so
but I knew in my heart it wouldn't be long
till I'd look up and you'd be gone

If heartaches brought fame
In loves crazy game
I'd be a legend in my time
If they gave gold statuettes
For tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time
But they don't give awards
And there's no praise or fame
For a heart that's been broken
over love that's in vain
If lonliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
If lonliness meant world acclaim
Everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time
. . .

Felt this way yesterday,
Today I keep hurtin', yeah hurtin'
Time goes by, right on by, and I,
I'm still hurtin', yeah hurtin'.
You walked away, the pain began,
I knew I'd never love again.
Oh my heart tore apart,
And I'm sure hurtin', yeah hurtin'.
You walked away, the pain begain,
I knew I'd never love again.
Seems to me my destiny
Is to be just hurtin', yeah hurtin.

Oh it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
and 44 million more tears I've cried since you walked through that door
The sun never reaches my doorstep each empty day seems to be the same
You've broken your vow but I still love you now, oh this love of mine is a one way losing game
And it's been 22 lonely blue days without a word from you
and 44 million more tears I've cried since you walked through that door
The dreams that we share are gone forever but I still have a little hope in my heart
Is this the way it ends? Are we to be both friends? Oh I can't go on if we're to be apart
And it's been 22 lonely blue dayswithout a word from you
and 44 million more tears I've cried since you walked through that door
yeah 22 days since you walked through that door
ah 22 days since you walked through that door
yeah 22 days since you walked through that door
mmmm 22 days since you walked through that door

Roy Orbison/Fred Foster
Too many quarrels so now we break up.
No there's no chance to ever make-up,
But when they ask me.
I'll say it's my fault.
I'll taje all the blame.
I'll say i was wild,
When i should have been tame.
I'll say it's my fault.
I'll give a good show.
I'll say i'm a needle
That just wouldn't sew.
Ev'ry one will be wondering,
All our friends will inquire.
Which one did the blundering,
Who put out the fire?
So, i'll say it's my fault.
I'll say there's no doubt,
Then cry as i wonder,
Why it didn't work out.
