you ran crying to the

bedroom i ran off to the bar

another peace of heaven gone to hell

the words we spoke in anger

just tore my world apart

and i sat there feeling sorry for myself

then that old man sat down beside

me and looked me in the eye

and he said son i know

what youre going through

you ought a get down on your

knees and thank your lucky stars

that you got some one to go home to

you dont know about lonely or

how long the nights can be

till youve lived through the

stories that still living in me

you dont know about sadness till

you've faced life half alone

you dont know about lonely

till it's chiseled in stone

so i brought these pretty flowers

hoping you would understand

sometimes a man is such a fool

those golden words of wisdom

from the heart of that old man

showed me i aint nothing without you

you dont know about lonely or

how long the nights can be

till youve lived through the

stories that old man just told me

and you dont know about sadness

till youve faced life half alone

you dont know about lonely

till its chiseled in stone

you dont know about lonely

till its chiseled in stone
