[Verse] On a stone-cold park bench in her tattered tweed coat And her three-dollar bag and her shoes That were once leather but have now gone to holes She sits in a cloud of cigarette smoke In the middle of the night In the middle of the town In the middle of winter When the sun goes down There's a lonely little lady that sits all alone And this is the only world she's ever known [Chorus] In the heart of the town Where the bells ring loud And the boys come in with the morning crowd The nights are short And the days are long And all that remains when the bars close down And the boys all leave for the Underground Is a lonely little lady sitting all alone [Verse 2] She met a man one time And she stayed for a while 'Til the romance went cold and she was forced to go But her heart stayed true and her love still grew And it wasn't too long 'til he was missing her too So he took a little stroll in the middle of the night In the middle of the winter And he couldn't believe his eyes When he saw the lady who once had his love On a stone-cold park bench Sitting all alone [Chorus] In the heart of the town Where the bells ring loud And the boys come in with the morning crowd The nights are short And the days are long And all that remains when the bars close down And the boys all leave for the Underground Is a lonely little lady sitting all alone [Verse 3] He couldn't understand how she could sit there In the coldest of the cold Just to see him again She looked him in the eyes and said "I would do it all again 'Cause the warmth of your smile and the touch of your skin Keeps me alive when the nights draw in When the bars close down and the boys all leave And all that's left is me [Chorus] In the heart of the town Where the bells ring loud And the boys come in with the morning crowd The nights are short And the days are long And all that remains when the bars close down And the boys all leave for the Underground Is a lonely little lady sitting all alone
