You ran crying to the bedroom I ran off to the bar
Another peace of heaven gone to hell
The words we spoke in anger just tore my world apart
And I sat there feeling sorry for myself
Then that old man sat down beside me and looked me in the eye
And said son I know what youÔÇÖre going through
You ought-a get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars
That you got some one to go home to
You donÔÇÖt know about lonely or how long the nights can be
Till youÔÇÖve lived through the stories that still living in me
You donÔÇÖt know about sadness till youÔÇÖve faced life alone
You donÔÇÖt know about lonely till itÔÇÖs chiseled in stone
So I brought these pretty flowers hoping you would understand
Sometimes a man is such a fool
Those golden words of wisdom from the heart of that old man
Showed me I ainÔÇÖt nothing without you
You donÔÇÖt know about lonely or how long the nights can be
Till youÔÇÖve lived through the stories that still living in me
You donÔÇÖt know about sadness till youÔÇÖve faced life alone
You donÔÇÖt know about lonely till itÔÇÖs chiseled in stone
You donÔÇÖt know about lonely till itÔÇÖs chiseled in stone
