Intro: Life holds no fascination Without you here with me, each hour's eternity And friends are small consolation, talk doesn't ease the pain The hurt can't be explained Only a lonely heart knows how the memory cuts like a knife Since you walked out of my life I'm half crazy day and night And only a lonely heart knows how the heartache, it grows and grows Oh, how long does it take till the heartache goes? Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows Time is a friend and an enemy in time the hurt might end Till then the walls close in I'm so lost, I'm numbed by your leaving me I sit alone and stare you don't know till you've been there And only a lonely heart knows how the memory cuts like a knife Since you walked out of my life Im half crazy day and night And only a lonely heart knows how the heartache, it grows and grows Oh, how long does it take till the heartache goes? Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows Tell me how long does it take till the heartache goes? Only a lonely, only a lonely Yes, only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows
