Analysis of That Lonely Road



Ever since we said goodbye
Waiting all these lonely nights
If only I could be with you
No one loves you like I do

All of these tears that I have cried
Wanting only to be by your side
Somewhere in this heart of mine
That lonely road I left behind

Down that old and lonely road
That leads me to your heart and soul
You are the only one for me
Have I not been too blind to see

And I will do all that it takes
To give back all the love you make
When you look back into my eyes
My love for you it never dies
