If you look through my window and you don't see a light There's no need to worry, hey, I'm doin' all right Got a warm fire going and the radio's on There's a difference in lonely and bein' alone Now, I raised my children the best that I could And I'm proud to tell you that they're all doin' good They blow in like a whirlwind, they're here, and then they're gone There's a difference in lonely and bein' alone Lonely is only a bad place to be If you're someone who can't stand your own company Yeah, but me and myself do just fine on our own There's a difference in lonely and bein' alone Now, I might be sittin' here all by myself But I feel the presence of somebody else I'm just passing the time till He calls me home There's a difference in lonely and bein' alone I'm just passing the time till He calls me home There's a difference in lonely and bein' alone
