On the Town movie - Lonely Town lyrics

<br>

GABEY:<br>

Gabey's comin', Gabey's comin' to town.<br>

So what? Who cares?<br>

Back on the ship it seemed such a snap;<br>

You'd tap a girl on the shoulder,<br>

She'd turn around,<br>

And she'd say: "I love you."<br>

But once on shore, it's not such a snap;<br>

You get the cold shoulder,<br>

The old run-around,<br>

You're left with no one but you.<br>

Gabey's comin', Gabey's comin' to town.<br>

<br>

A town's a lonely town,<br>

When you pass through<br>

And there is no one waiting there for you,<br>

Then it's a lonely town.<br>

You wander up and down,<br>

The crowds rush by,<br>

A million faces pass before your eye,<br>

Still it's a lonely town.<br>

<br>

Unless there's love,<br>

A love that's shining like a harbor light,<br>

You're lost in the night;<br>

Unless there's love,<br>

The world's an empty place<br>

And every town's a lonely town.<br>

<br>
