You're Not The Only Lonely One
daughter singing to her Daddy
Story behind the song
Because my husband would get up around 3:00 a.m. to start drinking! I hesrd the splash of whiskey!

You're Not The Only Lonely One

1.) It's far too late or early.
You're in the other room.
I hear the splash of whiskey.
You'll be crying soon.
Is this the end of last night
or a new day just begun?
I know you're missing Momma.
You're Not The Only Lonely One.
Chorus
You're Not The Only Lonely One.
I'm hurting too
You've become a stranger.
I've been needing you.
We should be sharing
the loneliness and grief.
You turned to the bottle
and turned away from me.
2.) Momma's gone forever,
No one can take her place.
When you've drained the whiskey,
Do you see her face?
There wouldn't be no graveyards,
Nor sad songs ever sung,
If no one ever lost a love.
You're Not The Only Lonely One.
Chorus
You're Not The Only Lonely One.
I'm hurting too
You've become a stranger.
I've been needing you.
We should be sharing
the loneliness and grief.
You turned to the bottle
and turned away from me.
Tag Chorus
You're Not The Only Lonely One.
I'm hurting too
Momma must be watching
I doubt she'd approve
You made her a promise
Before she left this earth
You'd take care of me
And see me through the hurt
Tag:
I miss you, Daddy. You're Not The Only Lonely One
I love you, Daddy. You're Not The Only Lonely One.
