Emmylou Harris - Lonely Girl Lyrics

It seems to me life, days are growing short
Years are going faster and time is flying by
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

Give my best effort, love is always worth it
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

Had my share of lovers, I cared for many others
I always thought there'd be another one to come along
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
