Bill Anderson - Lonely Together lyrics

Once upon a time you and I were so in love

The whole wide world was gay and happy then

I don't know how or why our love began to die

Till it vanished like a straw in the wind.

We're side by side but we're lonely together

Clinging to the pieces of a vow

Everybody used to say we were perfect together

But we're lonely together now.

It's a mighty big roof that we've nailed upon our house

For it stretches from your world to mine

It keeps out the rain but it can't keep out the pain

And the tears that I see falling all the time.

We're side by side but we're lonely together

Clinging to the pieces of a vow

Everybody used to say we were perfect together

But we're lonely together now.

Oh, we're lonely together now...
