Crystal Gayle – Nobody Wants To Be Alone Lyrics

I’ve spent my life trying to tell everyone
I’ve got myself I don’t need anyone
You heard the words but you looked in my eyes
And saw the wall of tears I was hiding behind

You reached for me, I felt your touch
I wanted you we both needed so much
In a world of lonely people looking for love
Why was I surprised to see it happen to us

Everybody needs someone to love
Everybody wants to love someone
When the nights are long and cold
Everybody needs someone to love
Nobody wants to be alone

The days were empty, the nights were so long
I wished on every star til you came along
I knew that one day you’d walk through that door
Sometimes it’s hard but love is worth waiting for

Everybody needs someone to love
Everybody wants to love someone
When the nights are long and cold
Everybody needs someone to love
Nobody wants to be alone

Now when you see me cry
You’ll only see tears of joy in my eyes
In a world of lonely people looking for love
I wish everyone could be as lucky as us
