Lonely Together Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Everybody used to say we were perfect together but we're lonely together now 

Once upon a time you and I were so in love 

The whole wide world was gay and happy then 

I don't know how or why our love began to die till it vanished like a straw in the wind 

We're side by side but we're lonely together clinging to the pieces of a vow 

Everybody used to say we were perfect together but we're lonely together now 

[ steel ] 

It's a mighty big roof that we've nailed upon our house 

For it stretches from your world to mine 

Though it keeps out the rain what about the pain 

And the tears that keep on falling all the time 

We're side by side... 

But we're lonely together now
