You're Lonely and I'm Lonely
Frank Sinatra/Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're lonely and I'm lonely
So why can't we be lonely together?
The night is young and while it grows older
We can't forget crying on each other's shoulder
The sky's cloudy 'cause we're lonely
But soon we'll see a change in the weather
Two lonely hearts beating as one
Can be miserable and still have a lot of fun
