LOVE’S LONELY ROAD
©2016 – music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle

A young boy’s hopes are gone
With the girl who once belonged
To his lovin’ lovin’ heart
They met on a summer night
A crescent moon shinin’ bright
Her tender kiss and warm caress
Made him love her so

(Chorus:)

It was lies, lies, she told
On love’s lonely road
Her precious love she sold
On that lonely road
It was lies, lies, she told
On love’s lonely road
A betrayal with a kiss
On that lonely road

Now his heart is broke in two
He doesn’t know what to do
How to mend a broken heart
She rejected his love
When she took another’s hand
He called her back and pleaded
What don’t I understand
What don’t I understand
 

(Chorus)

Now if the truth could be told
The broken hearts on lonely road
Left a trail of shattered dreams
Buried deep
On love’s lonely road
 

(Chorus)
