It Gets Lonely Early

Jimmy van Heusen & Sammy Cahn

Triplicate sessions, Capitol Recording Studio B, Los Angeles CA - February 2016  

When you're all alone
All the children grown
And like starlings flown away
It gets lonely early, doesn't it?
Lonely early, doesn't it?
Every single endless day.

When your twilight nears
And one face appears
Turning winter years to may
It gets lonely early, doesn't it?
Lonely early, doesn't it?
Still the old heart's young enough to say.

It was really more than lovely, wasn't it?
Truly lovely, wasn't it?

Every single lovely day
