LONELY CITY
(Geoff Goddard)

John Leyton - 1962



Deep in the heart of a lonely city
I wandered sad and all alone
Then in the heart of a lonely city
I saw the girl that I want for my own

She, just like me, was alone in the city
A-searchin' for someone who really could care
Then in a moment I'd lost my heart
To this lovely young girl who was standing there

Say, little girl, you've taken my loneliness away
You and your smile have turned my night into day
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ohh-ooh-ooh

Well, now in the heart of a lonely city
I'll never wander sad and alone
Evermore by my side and holding my hand
Is this lovely young girl that I've made my own

Say, little girl, you've taken my loneliness away
You and your smile have turned my night into day
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ohh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ................ FADE
