Everybody's Lonely Lyrics

Harry Chapin Everybody's Lonely

All I got is time, nothing else is mine
All I want is you and one more tomorrow
Nothing lasts to long, when I leave it's gone
So I send my mind ahead and hope to follow

Yes, I know I have a lifetime coming
But I've got it all figured out
Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
Everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about

I've had my share of heartaches, misfortune and mistakes
Occasionally this life has left me battered
But I can't blame no one else, 'cause what I've done to myself
Is the only kind of history that matters

Yes, I know I have a lifetime coming
But I've got it all figured out
Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
Everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about

Now, maybe you'll come with me and maybe you will stay
And maybe you'll just watch awhile then wander
It seems like all the good things in my life just drift away
But maybe you will stay this time, I wonder

Yes, I know I have a lifetime coming
But I've got it all figured out
Everybody's lonely, everybody's lonely
Everybody's lonely, that's what it's all about
That's what it's all about, that's what it's all about
