Lonelier Than Any Man

When love was new and we were one in two
Then everything was coloured gold and blue
How beautiful the gold and blue
And there we were ah we were such a sight
nothing before or since has been so right
Nothing has ever been so right

But if I could hold you tonight by magic
Set the world to right
We could climb the hill and touch the moon
And ride across the golden dunes my love
If I could just turn back time for a minute
And feel Your lips on mine
Too late, I’m lonelier than any man

Before you came my life was quiet and plain
a simple picture but in a gilded frame
a picture in a gilded frame
and there we were in the enchanted night
we were stirrup by stirrup
in the moons flood light
I will see you in the moon all of my life

But if I could hold you tonight by magic
Set the world to right
We could climb the hill and touch the moon
And ride across the golden dunes my love
If I could just turn back time for a minute
And feel Your lips on mine
Too late, I’m lonelier than any man

But if I could hold you tonight by magic
Set the world to right
We could climb the hill and touch the moon
And ride across the golden dunes my love
If I could just turn back time for a minute
And feel Your lips on mine
Too late, I’m lonelier than any man
