I'd see him everyday just feeding pigeons in the park
The old man on a bench alone for hours
But I was in a hurry
Getting somewhere in this world
And I would watch him talking to the flowers
One day when I was early, I just stopped to say hello
I guess it was my curiosity
I asked if he got lonely everyday there in the park
His story changed the world for me
If you never found perfection, then lost it all too soon
You never heard a love song that sent you to the moon
You never felt the earth shake, when she walked into the room
You don't know lonely, don't know lonely
If you never had a dream of a lifetime that came true
You never found a heart that beat so perfectly with you
You never shared a love that when it ended you did too
You don't know lonely
He told me of a love that he had shared for fifty years, magic that began so long ago
They started off as kids and found that life was made for two, a passion that so many never know
One day he noticed something in the things she didn't say, so tired as she put her hand in his
Well it all became a nightmare as she slowly slipped away
He never dreamt that it would end like this
If you never found perfection, then lost it all too soon
You never heard a love song that sent you to the moon
You never felt the earth shake, when she walked into the room
You don't know lonely, don't know lonely
If you never had a dream of a lifetime that came true
You never found a heart that beat so perfectly with you
If you never shared a love that when it ended you did too
You don't know lonely
He wished me well, but as he turned a tear ran down his face
I hope you find a love like mine, a love you can't replace
And may you never lose it all, may you never be so lonely
If you never found perfection, then lost it all too soon
Never heard a love song that sent you to the moon
You never felt the earth shake, when she walked into the room
You don't know lonely, don't know lonely
If you never had a dream of a lifetime that came true
You never found a heart that beat so perfectly with you
You never shared a love that when it ended you did too
You don't know lonely, don't know lonely
Don't know lonely
You don't know lonely
Don't know lonely
You don't know lonely
