Songs From My Sofa #7 "Lonely All My Life"

This song is about dealing with being lonely when you are in a long distance relationship. More specifically, sacrificing time with a loved one to do something else.


"Lonely All My Life"

Just because it's right...
That won't make for an easier day
Or for a better night,
When the reasons fall away.

Meanwhile this wedding band is wearing in my hand
And you are one thousand miles away.

Hold me, hold me through this telephone line.
I'll be lonely, I'll be lonely all my life,
Because of you.

I am not some martyr.
No, I never was the saint you say I am.
I have recklessly bartered
All the precious time we would have had.

Meanwhile this wedding band is wearing in my hand
And you are one thousand miles away.

Hold me, hold me through this telephone line.
And I'll be lonely, I'll be lonely all my life,
With or without you,

Still, I wouldn't trade it.
Even though I've known since our wedding day,
Still, I wouldn't trade it.
And you wouldn't have me any other way.

So baby, hold me, hold me through this telephone line.
And I'll be lonely, I'll be lonely all my life,
Because of you.

You told me you'd be lonely all your life too.

Just because it's right...
That won't make for an easier day.
