Johnny Mathis - Solitaire lyrics

There was a man, a lonely man Who lost his love through his indifference A heart that cared, that went unchecked Until it died in his silence And solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down And by himself, it's easy to pretend He'll never love again And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire Another day, a lonely day So much to say that goes unspoken And through the night, his sleepless nights His eyes are closed, his heart is broken And solitaire's the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down And by himself it's easy to pretend She's coming back again And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire A little hope, goes up in smoke Just how it goes, goes without saying Solitaire And by himself it's easy to pretend He'll never love again Ohhh And keeping to himself he plays the game Without her love it always ends the same While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing solitaire Solitaire, solitaire
