[Verse 1]
Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

[Pre-Chorus]
All the lonely people, where do they all come from? Yeah
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

[Chorus]
I look at all those lonely people
I look at all those lonely people now

[Verse 2]
Father McKenzie
Writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Donning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

[Pre-Chorus]
I heard him say
All the lonely people (I look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
He turned to me and he said
All the lonely people, yeah (I look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong now?

[Chorus]
I look at all the lonely people (People), yeah, (People)
I look at all the lonely people (People), oh, (People)

[Verse 3]
Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
And Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walked from the grave
No one was saved

[Pre-Chorus]
And he said
All the lonely people (I look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from? The man looked at me and he said
All the lonely people (I look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

[Chorus]
I look at all the lonely people (People, people)
I look at all the lonely people (People), oh, (People)

[Outro]
All the lonely people (I look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from? I want somebody to tell me
All the lonely people (I look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

Raymond Charles Robinson was born on September the 23th 1930 in Georgia. He was a singer, songwriter, musician and composer, better known as Ray Charles. Nicknamed ‘The Genius’ and ‘The High Priest of Soul’, Ray became one of the pioneers of soul music.

Ray Charles was able to combine numbers of styles such as rythem and blues, gospel, blues and the influences from jazz and country were hearable in his music. He is listed as number two in the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” the Rolling Stone Magazine released in November 2008.

Other artists have praised Ray Charles too for his influence in the music world. Frank Sinatra called Charles “the only true genius in show business” and Billy Joel “This may sound like sacrilege, but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley”.
