Betty Comden - Lonely Town lyrics

(Verse) 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 (Chorus) A town's a lonely town When you pa** 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 pa** 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 (instrumental break) 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
