Why does my lonely heart still smile It’s been up, it’s been down Haven’t felt this pain in a while
We turned to the bottle Thought we’d just about Hit rock bottom Emotional beats were trodden Sad old streets forgotten The leaves didn’t fall this autumn
Instead we braved the dark clouds And our worst horrors Still don’t want to face tomorrow Haunted by the shadows And the sinking sorrow
They say that better days will come I’m riding the waves of the pain Until I’m numb Just hoping my good grace will be saved By the grave when my time is done
We battled and prayed Until the war was won After all and all the while Somehow my lonely heart still smiles
