At night when everything is quiet This old house seems to breathe a sigh Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring Sometimes I can hear a baby cry
Sometimes I can hear a staircase creaking Sometimes a distant telephone Oh, and when the night settles down again This old house and I are all alone
Lonely house, lonely me Funny with so many neighbors How lonesome you can be
Lonely town, lonely street Funny, you can be so lonely With all these folks around
I guess there must be something I don't comprehend Sparrows have companions Even stray dogs have a friend
The night for me is not romantic Unhook the stars and take them down I'm lonely in this lonely town, in this lonely house
The night, the night for me is not romantic Unhook the stars and take them down I'm lonely in this lonely town, in this lonely house At night when everything is quiet
