It's a late night kind of lonesome
Comes from a long-time kind of lovin'
The kind I left behind when I left you
It's a fear of gettin' older, gettin' harder, gettin' colder
And it's knowin' that you can't go back
No matter what you do

And long-time lovin's hard to find
They say you're lucky if it happens once in a lifetime
And it's hard to break the tie that binds
I'm on a one-way road away from you
But I'm with you in my mind

It's a late night kind of lonesome
Comes from a long-time kind of lovin'
The kind I left behind when I left you
It's a funny kind of lonely when you know that you're the only one
Who'll be there doin' things your darlin' used to do

They say you're lucky if it happens once in a lifetime
And it's hard to break the tie that binds
I'm on a one-way road away from you
But I'm with you in my mind
'Cause long-time lovin's hard to find
