Lyrics
The Lonely Hour
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I need someone that I'll look to
In the lonely hour
That we all go through
To give me comfort
And love me through
In the lonely hour
I need you
I need you
I need you
I don't need diamonds
I don't need jewels
No amount of riches will cover up these blues
I don't need suggestions on how to start anew
In the lonely hour I need you
There's nothing I can do
I'm hopeless without you
It's a lonesome point of view
And there's a wistful silence in an empty room
These other voices they don't cut through
In the lonely hour I need you
I need you
And I need you
I need someone that I'll look to
In the lonely hour I need you
I need you
