Lyrics

Well, (E)since my ba by left me, well, I’ve found a new place to dwell.

Well, it’s down at the end of Lone ly Street at Heart break Ho tel where I’ll be, I’ll be just so lone ly, ba by.

Well, I’m so lone ly,

I’ll be just so lone ly I could (E)die.

Al though it’s al ways crowd ed, you still can find some room for bro ken heart ed lov ers to cry a way their gloom.

They’ll be so, they’ll be just so lone ly, ba by, they’ll be just so lone ly,

they’ll be so lone ly they could (E)die.

Now the bell hop’s tears keep flow ing; the desk clerk’s dressed in black.

Well, they’ve been so long on Lone ly Street they’ll nev er, they’ll nev er look ba ack, and the ey’re so, well, they’re just so lone ly, ba by, well, they’re so lone ly,

well, they’re so lone ly they could die.

Well now, if your ba by leaves you, you’ve got a tale to tell.

Well, just take a walk down Lone ly Street to Heart break Ho tel where you will be, will be just so lone ly, ba by, well, you’ll be lone ly.

You’ll be so lone ly you could die.

Al though it’s al ways crowd ed, well, you still can find some room for bro ken heart ed lov ers to cry a way their gloom.

They’ll be so, well, they’ll get so lone ly, ba by, well, they’re so lone ly,

they’ll be so lone ly they could (E)die.
