(This Is A) Song For The Lonely Lyrics

Cher (This Is A) Song For The Lonely

Songwriters: Barry, Paul M; Torch, Steve; Taylor, Mark P;

When you're standin' on the edge of nowhere
There's only one way up
So your heart's gotta go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When heroes fall in love or war
They live forever

This is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer?
Someone's there for you

Love don't need a reason
She can pick you up
Or leave you bleedin'
I've seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believin'

'Coz this is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
Can you hear this prayer?
'Coz someone's there for you

(Don't give up)
So let it find you
(Just for her)
Wherever you may go
(You'll be there)
I'm right beside you
You don't have to look no more
You don't have to look no more
Oh no

'Coz this is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
(Can you hear me tonight?)
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
(When your dreams won't come true)
Can you hear this prayer?
'Coz there's someone there for you

It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

This is a song
(For the lonely)
A song for the lonely
(Can you hear me tonight?)
And that's not you only
(This is a song for the lonely)
Through the darkest night
(Can you hear me tonight?)
You're gonna see the light
('Coz this is a song for the lonely)
Love like a reason
(Dreams won't come true)
Just to leave you bleedin'
(Can you hear this prayer?)
'Coz there's someone there
Can you hear this prayer?
'Coz someone's there

'Coz this is a song for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
(Can you hear me tonight?)
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I'll be by your side
And this is a song for the lonely
When your dreams won't come true
