I'm lonesome for someone, to kiss me goodnight,
Just the way you used to do,
My achin' heart needs someone, to shine love's light,
For without you, I'll always be blue.
If I don't have you, to help me along,
I know I can never go right,
Without you beside me, to show me the way,
I'm lost, like a stranger in the night.
Like a lonely dove that flies, from pine to pine,
My heart can't be gay and light,
Like sightless eyes, that will never see the sun,
I'm lost, like a stranger in the night.
There's no need for me, to even try,
Nothin' will turn out right,
When I lost your love, I lost the will to live,
And I'm lost, like a stranger in the night
Like a broken heart, that's lost on life's sea,
Tho I pray with all my might,
I know I can't face tomorrow alone,
And I'm lost, like a stranger in the night.
