Everybody used to say we were perfect together but we're lonely together now Once upon a time you and I were so in love The whole wide world was gay and happy then I don't know how or why our love began to die till it vanished like a straw in the wind We're side by side but we're lonely together clinging to the pieces of a vow Everybody used to say we were perfect together but we're lonely together now It's a mighty big roof that we've nailed upon our house For it stretches from your world to mine Though it keeps out the rain what about the pain And the tears that keep on falling all the time We're side by side But we're lonely together now
