Lyrics

VERSE
So many years we've been together
I'd come to think of us, oh, as forever
But now I'm hearing about later-life divorce
Somebody up and leaving; no sense of remorse
My God, I never thought it would happen to me
So, of course, I never knew what the worst part would be

CHORUS
I can't get the loneliness to leave me alone
It's the very worst feeling I've ever known
It's way bad enough (oh) that you're gone
But now the loneliness won't leave me alone
I just need you to make the loneliness leave me alone

SOLO/VERSE
That you would leave our lives behind
Has body and soul in a very tight bind
But please come back, oh, just long enough
To take the loneliness and put it with the love
It hurts so bad sometimes I want to die
But if the loneliness were gone, maybe all I'd do is cry

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
I just need you to make the loneliness leave me alone
