The Only Night Was A Lonly Night Lyrics - Singles - Arabesque

written by Jean Frankfurter (Music) 

and John Moering (Lyrics) 

I still hear you say: 

"I'll go far away 

They gave me a job 

And the money they pay 

Will help us 

We'll be okay" 

So I let you go 

But I should have know 

What can happen 

When men are alone 

It was clear to me 

When you came home 

* Baby, the only night 

Was a lonely night 

There was some-one else 

Thogh you held me tight 

You were thinking of her 

Yes, the only night 

Was a lonely night 

Which forever 

Changed my life 

Now don't lie to me 

This girl, who is she 

Did you tell her 

Your heart is not free 

Or doesn't she know 

Know about me 

She will understand 

That I need my man 

Please come home dear 

As soon as you can 

"I'll try to" you said, 

"But I don't know when" 

* (Repeat 2 times and fade)
