When no one cares
And the phone never rings
The nights are endless things
You're like a child that cries
And no one heeds the crying
You're like a falling star that dies
And seems to go on dying
When no one cares
You just count souvenirs
And they glisten with your tears
You can't believe a love like hers
Could come from someone new
When no one cares - but you
. . .

A little dream castle, with every dream gone
Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn
And my heart is heavy, as I gaze upon a cottage for sale.
The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay
A beautiful garden has withered away
Where you planted roses, the weeds seem to say, A cottage for sale
From every single window, I see your face
But when I reach the window, there's empty space
The key's in the mailbox, the same as before
But no one is waiting for me anymore
The end of our story is there on the door, A cottage for sale

Don't know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I
Ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
The time
So weary all the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and they met
If she stays away that old rocking chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I have is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I
Ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I
Ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
The time
Keeps raining all the time

Where do you go when it starts to rain,
where will you sleep when the night time comes
What do you do when your heart's in pain,
where will you run when the right time comes
These are the things that I want to know,
where will you hide when the lights are low
Where do you go when it starts to rain,
where will you sleep when the night time comes?

I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That I'm the lover
Meant for you
And I'd be true
But what's the good of scheming
I'm dreaming
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
'cause I don't stand
A ghost of a chance
With you
. . .

Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near
Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here
It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

I'm a glum one, it's explainable, I met someone unattainable
Life's a bore, the world is my oyster no more
All the papers where I lead the news with my capers, now will spread the news
Superman turns out to be flash-in-the-pan
I've been around the world in a plane, designed the latest IBM brain
But lately I'm so downhearted, 'cause I can't get started with you
In Cincinatti or in Rangoon, I simply smile and all the gals swoon
Their whims I've more than just charted, but I can't get started with you
O tell me why am I no kick to you, I who'd always stick to you
Fly through thin and thick to you, tell me why I'm taboo
Each time I chanced to see Franklin D., he always said, Hi buddy to me
And with queens I've a la carted, but I can't get started with you

I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
I've got some habits even I can't explain
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now?
I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now?
Why can't I be more conventional?
People talk, people stare, so I try
But that's not for me, 'cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world go passing me by
So, let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember I was always your clown?
Why try to change me now?

Just friends, lovers no more, just friends, but not like before
To think of what we've been, and not to kiss again
Seems like pretending, it isn't the ending
Two friends, drifting apart, two friends, but one broken heart
We loved we laughed we cried, then suddenly love died
The story ends and we're just friends
We loved we laughed and we cried, then suddenly love died
The story ends and we're just friends

(I'll never smile again until I smile at you)
(I'll never laugh again) What good would it do?
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through
(I'll never love again, I'm so in love with you)
(I'll never thrill again to somebody new)
Within my heart
I know I will never start
(To smile again)
Until I smile at you
Within my heart
I know I will never start
(To smile again)
Until I smile at you
(Until I smile at you)

None but the lonely heart can know my sadness
Alone and parted far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boundless arch I see spread about above me
O what a distance dear to one who loves me
None but the lonely heart can know my sadness
Alone and parted far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far from joy and gladness
My senses fail, a burning fire devours me,
None but the lonely heart can know my sadness
. . .

The one I love belongs to somebody else
She means her tender songs for somebody else
And even when I have my arms around her
I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
The hands I held belong to somebody else
I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love belongs to somebody else
The one I love belongs to somebody else
. . .

Soft as a raindrop, fresh as the sea
Warm as the sunshine shining on me
This was my love, this was my love
Light was her laughter, few were her tears
Gentle her beauty, tender her years
This was my love, this was my love
So young, so fair, such bright golden hair
A smile always on her face
No other love can ever compare
No other can take her place
Others may cherish fortune or fame
I will forever cherish her name
For this was my love
This was my love!
. . .

I could have told you, she'd hurt you, she'd love you a while, then desert you
If only you asked, I could have told you so
I could have saved you some crying, yes I could have told you she's lying
But you were in love and didn't want to know
I hear her now as I toss and turn and try to sleep
I hear her now, making promises she'll never keep
And soon it's over and done with, she'll find someone new to have fun with
Through all of my tears, I could have told you so
I hear her now, as I toss and turn and try to sleep
I hear her now making promises she'll never keep
And soon it's over, and done with, she'll find someone new to have fun with
Through all of my tears, I could have told you so
. . .

Love was like a song
A lovely melody
Our hearts would sing along
In perfect harmony
But you forgot all the words
While I still remember the tune
Each time our lips would cling
I heard a serenade
Of love and youth and spring
Forever to be played
But you forgot all the words
While I still remember the tune
We used to dance
Instead of walk
We used to sing
Instead of talk
Why was our love song
That used to be
Only the start of the blues for me
But songs are funny things
They never really die
And so my hope still clings
That someday you will try
To just remember the words
For I still remember the tune
When lonely lights are lit
And midnight songs will start
Our song I must admit
Still fills my hopeful heart
So please remember the words
For I still remember the tune
. . .
