Lonely Is The Night
David Hasselhoff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Really tho't that I could live without you
Really tho't that I could make it on my own
Send you away ya I said I didn't need you
I let you go, I let you go, I let you go
Now I'm so lost without you
Now you're not here and now I know

Lonely is the night when I'm not with you
Lonely is the night and there ain't no light shining through
Til you're in my arms til you're here by my side
Lonely am I

Never tho't that I that I would need you
Never tho't that I that I'd be missin you
Gotta get you back
I just got to find a way now
To let you know, to let you know, to let you know
That I'm so lost without you
And now this world just ain't right

I can make it through the day
I can fake it okay
I just smile and pretend
And I tell myself it's alright




But lonely is the night
Lonely is the night

The darkness of the night brings out my loneliness


Lonely is the night
I feel desolate during the night without you

I've never heard any other singer sing like him ever, and his voice is the most beautiful in a man's voice, he is the most romantic and compassionate singer ever.
