Lyrics
LONELY BEAUTY
Music by: Keith Williams
Lyrics by: Phil Morrison
Blues in the night - when dreams speak within
Gone is the light - nocturnal scenes
Above the city - high
I see - I feel - That Lonely Beauty.....from
Deep in my heart - there's you in my mind
Right from the start - I always knew
The light of love - would last
I see - I feel - Lonely Beauty
Darkness......with the shadow silhouettes
So still.....until the dawn
Morning has come........the city sounds
The rising sun - a new day......
Is now awake - from dreams .....but the
Night returns - to feel once again
A Flame steady burns - from the past
Until the light will fade
In the dark - Lonely Beauty.........Gone
(optional 2nd verse)
Vast is the view - of windows unknown
Lights shining through - now all alone
So peaceful - in the quiet
I see - I feel - Lonely Beauty
