Nat "King" Cole — The Lonely One

[Verse] There is a very quiet boy, they call the lonely one There's sorrow in his face and sadness in his eyes And if you look into the heart within the lonely one You'll find it's been deceived by broken vows and lies [Bridge] Is it good to have pride with a longing to hide All your heartaches and fears? Is it wise to be cold and to struggle to hold back the tears? If you could only see the boy they call the lonely one You'd know that since you're gone, the lonely one is me [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Is it good to have pride with a longing to hide All your heartaches and fears? Is it wise to be cold and to struggle to hold back the tears? If you could only see the boy they call the lonely one You'd know that since you're gone, the lonely one is me [Outro] You'd know that since you're gone, the lonely one is me
