Mickey Gilley › Lyrics › Lonely Nights

Pardon me
I don't mean to waste your time
I just need someone to talk to
If you don't mind?

Then the thoughts of loneliness
That tonight I guess I'm just too weak to fight

I can take the lonely days
But I can't take these lonely nights

Are you alone
Tell me what's your name?
I just need someone to lean on
I'm not playing any games

So sit down here beside me
And let me buy you a glass of red rose wine

I can take the lonely days
But I can't take these lonely night

Well I thought that I was strong
But the night can be so long when you need a friend
Oh but maybe we could find a little piece of mind
Before the morning comes again

Oh, pardon me
If it seems I'm holdin' on
Letting go, it just isn't easy
When your sleeping all alone

Let's forget about tomorrow
Beg, steal or borrow, just a little time

I can take the lonely days
But I can't take these lonely nights
Yes, I can take the lonely days
But I can't take these lonely nights
