Don't Know Lonely

I'd see him everyday just feeding pigeons in the park The old man on a bench alone for hours But I was in a hurry Getting somewhere in this world And I would watch him talking to the flowers One day when I was early, I just stopped to say hello I guess it was my curiosity I asked if he got lonely everyday there in the park His story changed the world for me If you never found perfection, then lost it all too soon You never heard a love song that sent you to the moon You never felt the earth shake, When she walked into the room You don't know lonely, Don't know If you never had a dream of a lifetime that came true You never found a heart that beat so perfectly with you You never shared a love that when it ended you did too You don't know lonely He told me of a love that he had shared for fifty years, Magic that began so long ago They started off as kids and found that life was made for two, A passion that so many never know One day he noticed Something in the things she didn't say, So tired as she put her hand in his Well it all became a nightmare as she slowly slipped away He never dreamt that it would end like this If you never found perfection, then lost it all too soon You never heard a love song that sent you to the moon You never felt the earth shake, when she walked into the room You don't know lonely, don't know lonely If you never had a dream of a lifetime that came true You never found a heart that beat so perfectly with you If you never shared a love that when it ended you did too You don't know lonely He wished me well, but as he turned a tear ran down his face I hope you find a love like mine, a love you can't replace And may you never lose it all, may you never be so lonely If you never found perfection, then lost it all too soon Never heard a love song that sent you to the moon You never felt the earth shake, when she walked into the room You don't know lonely, don't know lonely If you never had a dream of a lifetime that came true You never found a heart that beat so perfectly with you You never shared a love that when it ended you did too You don't know lonely, don't know lonely Don't know lonely You don't know lonely Don't know lonely You don't know lonely
