How many hearts must be broken
How many dreams left unspoken
How many people are left out in the cold
How many secrets are never to be told

You wrote me a letter, you hope that I’m better, oh no
And now that I’ve read it, I’ll try to forget it, oh no
How many people will sleep alone tonight

What can I do? Could it be true?
Gonna have to live without you
Forget everything about you, oh no, oh no

These nights, all the endless nights
Thinking of you
And days, all these lonely days
Trying to get through

You wrote me a letter, you hope that I’m better, oh no
And now that I’ve read it, I’ll try to forget it, oh no
How many people will sleep alone tonight

Sleep alone tonight, sleep alone tonight
