When you must do without him,
But your dreams are still about him,
You'll begin the lonely hours.
When your romance is ending,
And your heart has stopped pretending,
You are in the lonely hours.
Oh how slow the moments go,
When you're love disappears.
Oh how slow the moments go,
Every minute is a thousand years.
You'll say he doesn't want you,
But his lips will stay to haunt you,
When you know the lonely hours.
You'll swear that you can hear him,
Even though you're nowhere near him,
When you know the lonely hours,
And yet you know,
That only love can make your broken heart mend.
Cause love began it all,
And only love can end the lonely hours.
