Lonely Man

[Verse 1] In this empty space, just me and my hound, Your absence cuts deep, like a lonesome wound. The days drag on, and the nights they're long, Since you said goodbye, everything feels wrong. [Chorus] I'm just a lonely man with a heartache so deep, Since you left, it's been hard to sleep. I wish you joy, and I wish you cheer, But in this empty house, I need you here. [Verse 2] The memories haunt me, they won't let me be, Your laughter echoes in every room, you see. My faithful friend, he's been feeling it too, With those sad eyes, he's missing you. [Chorus quartet harmony] I'm just a lonely man with a heartache so deep, Since you left, it's been hard to sleep. I wish you joy, and I wish you cheer, But in this empty house, I need you here. [Bridge] I'll leave the porch light on, in case you return, My heart still yearns for the love we've learned. The door's always open, for you to walk through, Together again, just me, you, and my faithful hound, too. [Chorus] I'm just a lonely man with a heartache so deep, Since you left, it's been hard to sleep. I wish you joy, and I wish you cheer, But in this empty house, I need you here. The door's always open, for you to walk through, Together again, just me, you, and my faithful hound, too. [Chorus] I'm just a lonely man with a heartache so deep, Since you left, it's been hard to sleep. I wish you joy, and I wish you cheer, But in this empty house, I need you here. [fade to silence]
