lyrics

I’m getting used to being lonely every day
I don’t mind the solitude that’s lately come my way
The empty rooms that echo with every word I say
I’m getting used to being lonely every day.

I’m getting used to being lonely every night
And no one here but me as I turn out the light
Time heals all wounds and I am sure that mine will be all right
I’m getting used to being lonely every night.

I like to hear my footsteps
One by one upon the stair
The sound of my own voice
And not an answer anywhere—

I’m getting used to being lonely all the time
The quiet’s such a comfort, the silence so sublime
As I deliver my soliloquies, sing my songs without a rhyme
I’m getting used to being lonely—
Just the one and only—
Getting used to being lonely all the time.
