Lyrics of Tears of the Lonely by Mickey Gilley
verse
Faded pictures
Yellow from time
Well worn memories of days gone by
Needing someone and nobody′s there
These are the things broken dreams are made of
Lord, they're everywhere
chorus
Oh, the tears of the lonely
Keep falling all the time (keep falling all the time)
Oh, the tears of the lonely
They never dry
verse
Another night time that just never ends
A helpless longing for what might have been
Another morning to face all alone
These are the things broken dreams are made of
They go on and on
chorus
Oh, the tears of the lonely
Keep falling all the time (keep falling all the time)
Oh, tears of the lonely
They never dry
Oh, the tears of the lonely
Keep falling all the time (keep falling all the time)
Oh, the tears of the lonely
They never dry
Writer(s): Wayland D. Holyfield
