I Never Knew Lonely

Vince Gill I Never Knew Lonely Lyrics
1.What If I Say Goodbye

What if i say i love you
Would it mean as much as it used to
Could it help the hurt that we're putting us through
What if i said goodbye

What if tomorrow you wake up
And i'm not around what you break up
Would you take one towards me to make up
What if i said goodbye

What would you do if i did what i should have done long ago
Is there someone you'd turn to as soon as i left
Someone you already know

What if i say i love you
Would you want to make up like i do
Could we possibly salvage the dreams we knew
What if i said goodbye

What would you do if i did what i should have done long ago
Is there someone you'd turn to as soon as i left
Someone you already know

What if i say i love you
Would it mean as much as used to
Could it help the hurt that we're putting us through
What if i said goodbye


2.True Love

Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love

If you're not sure he holds your heart
Don't let pride keep us apart
You need true love

Chorus:
True love is all i'm after
I long to hear your laughter
The only thing that matters
Is it's true love
It's true love

I hear your voice in every sound
You're never there when i turn around
I need true love

I can't quit and i won't give in
Until you're back in my arms again
We need true love

Chorus

When i look at you you look right through me
I wish you knew
What your love's done to me

Is today my lucky day
Are you gonna look my way
And see true love

Yeah...

Chorus

It's true love (repeat to fade)


3.Midnight Train

I'm a long long way from home
Mendin' a broken heart
Runnin' away from a love gone wrong
Tryin' to make a new start
An old friend called me up to say
That you've made some wedding plans
I'm comin' home on that midhight train
And fight for you like a man

Chorus:
Midnight train make your whistle brlow
Engineer pour your load of coal
Midnight train make your engine whine
Midnight train get me home on time

Oh the thought of another man holdin' you
Is drivin' me insane
My only chance is to ride all night
I can't let you change your name
Now hey conductor we can't be late
Rollin' on down the track
'cause you know tomorrow's your wedding day
I gotta win my baby back

Chorus x 2


4.Colder Than Winter

It's colder than winter
Right here in my heart
Lord i'm gonna miss her
She's torn me apart

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door

It's colder than winter
I'm freezing inside
And my tears won't be bitter
Even though our love died

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door

Every time the sun sets
I shed another tear
And the lonelier i get
Wishing you were still here

I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give any more
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door


5.Never Knew Lonely

No other lover ever really cared
When i've reached out for you you've always been there
Now i'm so far away and baby i'm scared
I never knew lonely til you

You are my rock and the strength i need
To keep me sane in this life that i lead
Now i'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you

I can't make up for the times i've been gone
But i'll prove i love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where i belong
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you


6.Everybody's Sweetheart

When i told my baby
Do what you wanna do
Well i had no idea
Just what she'd put me through

Every night she's runnin' 'round
Singin' songs in your hometown
There ain't no one to love me
When the sun goes down

Chorus:
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now i've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine

All that country club money
Lord it sure looked good to me... yeah it did
Playin' golf with those fat cats
How much better could life be
They all think i've got it made
They see your face on every page
Of every magazine
Across the usa

Chorus

If you see her tell her hi
And everything will be all right
Tell her that i love her
'til the day i die

Chorus

Come on home


7.Way Back Home

A little girl was cryin'
For her mama and her daddy
She couldn't understand why they were gone
She never knew the danger
Of talking to a stranger
Now the girl can't find her way back home

A little boy went walkin'
Down to the corner market
To buy a loaf of bread and an ince cream cone
He never knew the dnager
Of talkin' to a stranger
Now the boy can't find the way back home

Chorus:
Too many kids are missin'
Is anybody listening?
Won't you be the children's eyes
They're all alone
The hardest part's not knowing
Where they are or where they're going
Won't you help the children find
The way back home

The faces on milk cartons
Thrown away and soon forgotten
What if one of those sweet kids
Was your very own

Tonight those kids are weeping
While yours are safely sleeping
Won't you help the children find
The way back home

Chorus

Won't you help the children find
The way back home


8.Losing Your Love

Stars are falling from your eyes
You don't feel what i feel inside
Your hand is warm but your heart is cold
If you're hurtin' you don't let it show

How much longer can we go on
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong
How much farther can we drift apart
Before all the feeling is gone

Chorus:
I'm losing your love
It's slippin' away
Minute by minute
Day by day
Losing your love
Don't you think i know
It's a matter of time
'til you let go

I see the moon shinin' up above
Reminded me how good it was
There's a chill comin' over me
Why can't it be like it used to be

I feel so helpless, i can't make you stay
No matter how hard i try
I can't deny that look in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me goodbye

Chorus

Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go


9.Livin' The Way I Do

Well i've gont to stop livin' the way i do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now i've got start livin' the way i do

I've spent a lifetime hurting you
And i expect someday you'll say we're through
It ain't two late for me to change
So please dono't write our final page
Still i've got to stop livin' the way i do

I've gone from honeymoons to heartaches
From faithful love to a fool
From hangin' out in honkey tonks
With any girl but you

Well i've got to stop livin' the way i do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now i've got to stop livin' the way i do

I've said all that i can say
But you turned and walked away
It's too late to stop livin' the way i do
