Lyrics

The streets are crowded, people are everywhere
The sounds of laughter and music fill the air
Thousands of people walk and sing and talk along the avenue
But it's a lonely town, lonely without you
I go out dancing with someone new each night
And it means nothing if she lets me hold her tight
'Cause no one's warm embrace or lovely face can thrill me like you do
'Cause it's a lonely town, lonely without you
Where can you be?
All of our friends keep asking me
Where have you gone?
Without your love I can't go on (I can't go on)
I feel like crying each time I hear your name
'Cause since you left me, this town's just not the same
So come back home, and then we'll live again the happiness we knew
'Cause it's a lonely town, lonely without you
Lonely without you
Lonely without you
Lonely without you
Lonely without you
Lonely without you
