If your heart has known such pain
Until for death it's crying
Only to have the Lord refuse
Then you've been near my side
If in your heart somehow you know
You'll fail whatever you do
Then you have walked a road of pain
Yes, you've been lonesome too
If you have had each joy of life
Destroyed and cast away
Then watch a heart that once knew love
Grow sadder day by day
If your soul is wilted like a rose
That's never felt the dew
You're traveling on the street of grief
Yes, you've been lonesome too
If for your wasted, wicked life
Your soul cries out in shame
And you could live it all again
It'd never be the same
If you've cried
God, please bless the one
To whom I was untrue
You've lived the life of regret
Yes, you've been lonesome too
If when the storms light up the skies
It seems you can't go on
Then from a vision your darling comes
You speak but she is gone
If then the tears flood down your cheeks
There's no one else for you
Then you can't ever hide from fate
Yes, you've been lonesome too
Until for death it's crying
Only to have the Lord refuse
Then you've been near my side
If in your heart somehow you know
You'll fail whatever you do
Then you have walked a road of pain
Yes, you've been lonesome too
If you have had each joy of life
Destroyed and cast away
Then watch a heart that once knew love
Grow sadder day by day
If your soul is wilted like a rose
That's never felt the dew
You're traveling on the street of grief
Yes, you've been lonesome too
If for your wasted, wicked life
Your soul cries out in shame
And you could live it all again
It'd never be the same
If you've cried
God, please bless the one
To whom I was untrue
You've lived the life of regret
Yes, you've been lonesome too
If when the storms light up the skies
It seems you can't go on
Then from a vision your darling comes
You speak but she is gone
If then the tears flood down your cheeks
There's no one else for you
Then you can't ever hide from fate
Yes, you've been lonesome too
