Leonard Bernstein
Lonely Town
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
OR A VILLAGE IN I-O-WAY
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE NAME
IF YOU’RE ALONE
WHETHER ON MAIN STREET OR ON BROADWAY
IF YOU’RE ALONE
THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME

A TOWN'S A LONELY TOWN
WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH
AND THERE IS NO ONE WAITING THERE FOR YOU
THEN IT'S A LONELY TOWN

YOU WANDER UP AND DOWN
THE CROWDS RUSH BY
A MILLION FACES PASS BEFORE YOUR EYES
STILL IT'S A LONELY TOWN

UNLESS THERE'S LOVE
A LOVE THAT'S SHINING LIKE A HARBOR LIGHT
YOU'RE LOST IN THE NIGHT
UNLESS THERE'S LOVE
THE WORLD'S AN EMPTY PLACE
AND EVERY TOWN'S A LONELY TOWN

A TOWN IS A SAD AND LONELY TOWN
THERE’S NO ONE AROUND YOU
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE PASSING BY
BUT STILL YOU FEEL SO ALONE
UNLESS THERE'S LOVE
A LOVE THAT'S SHINING LIKE A HARBOR LIGHT
YOU'RE LOST IN THE NIGHT
UNLESS THERE'S LOVE

THE WORLD'S AN EMPTY PLACE
AND EVERY TOWN'S A LONELY TOWN
A TOWN’S A LONELY TOWN
