Sanchez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Baby since you've been away
I been so lonely
I cry all night ooh

Why do I seem to be
caught up inside of a dream
all my life its always
been my shadow of me
well but over my shoulder
theres always a voice somewhere
saying I never should try to set my heart free

I wish that love would come
and take me in her arms
and show me what I've never known
If I could hold someone
in words like right from wrong
just fade away like yesterday

Lonely wont leave me alone
Lonely wont leave me alone
why tell me why lonely wont let me fall in love
ooh ooh ooh oh
everywhere I go
always by my side
lonely wont let me fall in love Hey

I try to say I love you
but the words wont come true in my life
I've seen all the tears and sad memories
but why can I thought of you
and if your feeelings too
far behind I feel all the tears inside of me
around these winter blues
I'm thinking back in time
and there will be that rainbows end
if i could follow on
never loose my mind
but its only lonely and me again

Lonely wont leave me alone
Lonely wont leave me alone
why tell me why lonely wont let me fall in love
ooh ooh ooh oh
everywhere I go
always by my side
lonely wont let me fall in love

oh so long you've been away
seems to me like your gone to stay
anyway that's alright well

Lonely wont leave me alone
Lonely wont leave me alone
why tell me why lonely wont let me fall in love
ooh ooh ooh oh
everywhere I go
always by my side
lonely wont let me fall in love
Why do I seem to be
caught up inside of a dream
all my life its always
been my shadow of me
well but over my shoulder
theres always a voice somewhere
saying I never should try to set my heart free

I wish that love would come




and take me in her arms
and show me what I've never
