It Gets Lonely Early Lyrics

When you're all alone All the children grown And like starlings, flown away It gets lonely early, doesn't it?
Lonely early, doesn't it? Every single endless day
When your twilight nears And one face appears Turning winter years to May It gets lonely early, doesn't it?
Lonely early, doesn't it? Still the old heart's young enough to say
It was really more than lovely, wasn't it? Truly lovely, wasn't it?
Every single lovely day
