Betty Carter - Lonely House lyrics
At night when everything is quiet
 This old house seems to breathe a sigh
 Sometimes I hear a neighbor snoring
 Sometimes I can hear a baby cry
 Sometimes I can hear a staircase creaking
 Sometimes a distant telephone
 Oh, and when the night settles down again
 This old house and I are all alone
 Lonely house, lonely me
 Funny with so many neighbors
 How lonesome you can be
 Lonely town, lonely street
 Funny, you can be so lonelyBetty Carter - Lonely House - http://motolyrics.com/betty-carter/lonely-house-lyrics.html
 With all these folks around
 I guess there must be something
 I don't comprehend
 Sparrows have companions
 Even stray dogs have a friend
 The night for me is not romantic
 Unhook the stars and take them down
 I'm lonely in this lonely town, in this lonely house
 The night, the night for me is not romantic
 Unhook the stars and take them down
 I'm lonely in this lonely town, in this lonely house
 At night when everything is quiet
