Leonard Bernstein
Lonely Town
[GABEY]
Gabey's comin’, Gabey's comin' to town
So what? Who cares?
Back on the ship it seemed such a snap
You’d tap a girl on the shoulder
She'd turn around
And she'd say "I love you"
But once on shore, it's not such a snap
You get the cold shoulder
The old runaround
You're left with no one but you
Gabey's comin', Gabey's comin’ to town

A town’s a lonely town
When you pass through
And there is no one waiting there for you
Then it's a lonely town
You wander up and down
The crowds rush by
A million faces pass before your eye
Still, it’s a lonely town

Unless there's love
A love that's shining like a harbor light
You're lost in the night
Unless there’s love
The world's an empty place
And every town's
A lonely town
Unless there's love
A love that's shining like a harbor light
You're lost in the night
Unless there's love
The world's an empty place
And every town's
A lonely town
