TV's off at 1 AM
One more day alone again
The work gets longer every day
Why'd I have to get away?

But I have found a comfort here
Solitude can be so dear
Loneliness is not so blue
When it puts my mind on You

I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It makes me think of You
(I love a lonely day)
All alone, I can easily find Your love

I love, I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It chases me to You
(I love a lonely day)
It clears my heart
Lets my very best part shine through
It's You

Lonely people everywhere
Lucky, lonely, ones who care
You've got all you need and more
Someone to be lonely for
Someone cries for you to hear
Take your heart and wipe that tear
Give them someone they can miss
Give them love and sing them this

I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It makes me think of You
(I love a lonely day)
All alone, I can easily find Your love

I love, I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It chases me to You
(I love a lonely day)
It clears my heart
Lets my very best part shine through
Oh, it's You

I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It makes me think of You
(I love a lonely day)
All alone, I can easily find Your love
I love, I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It chases me to You
(I love a lonely day)

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
