There's Alot of Lonely People Tonight

There's a lot of lonely people tonight
 Trying to make it through 'til the morning light
 There's me and you, babe, that's alright
 There's a lot of lonely people tonight
 I'm holdin' on tight to my pillow
 I wish it had a life of its own
 Starin' at the ceilin,' such a funny feelin'
 But nobody home
 But I know you're out there somewhere
 That you feel the same way too
 Now my only problem is trying to find
 A way of getting through to you
 There's a lot of lonely people tonight
 Trying to make it through 'til the morning light
 There's me and you, babe, that's alright
 There's a lot of lonely people tonight
 I guess we share the same old dream
 Or maybe it's the same old lie
 There's only one thing I'm sure of, now
 And that's our time keeps rolling by
 And far too many days run out
 And nights begin this way
 With my half of our hopeful couple
 Trying to hold the dark at bay
 There's a lot of lonely people tonight
 Trying to make it through 'til the morning light
 There's me and you, babe, that's alright
 There's a lot of lonely people tonight
 You can meet me on a city street
 Or meet me by a country stream
 You can meet me on a mountain top, babe
 But don't you meet me in my dreams
 You can meet me tomorrow morning
 Baby, maybe you met me back when
 You can meet me now inside this song
 'Cause I don't wanna sleep alone again
 There's a lot of lonely people tonight
 Trying to make it through 'til the morning light
 There's me and you, babe, that's alright
 'Cause there's a lot of lonely people
 So many lonely people
 There's a lot of lonely people all over the world
 We even lay with children and beautiful girls
 Yes, there's me and you, babe, but that's alright
 'Cause there's a lot of lonely people tonight
