Only the lonely, know the way I feel tonight.
       Only the lonely, know this feeling ain't right.

       There goes my baby, there goes my heart,
          they're gone forever, so far apart.
       But only the lonely, know why I cry.
       Only the lonely, only the lonely.

       Only the lonely, know the heartaches
          I've been through.
       Only the lonely, know I've cried and 
          cried for you.

       Maybe tomorrow, a new romance,
          no more sorrow, but that's the chance,
          you got to take, if your lonely heart breaks. 
      Only the lonely, only the lonely, only the lonely.
 

       South of the border, down Mexico way.
       That's where I fell in love where stars above,
          came out to play.
       And now as I wonder, my thoughts ever stray.
       South of the border, down Mexico way.

       She was a picture, in old spanish lace.
       Just for a tender while I kissed the smile,
          upon her face.
       For it was fiesta, and love had its day.
       South of the border, down Mexico way.

       Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
       Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

       Then she sighed as she whispered manana, 
           never dreaming that we were parting.
       And I lied as I whispered manana, 
           for our tomorrow never came.

       South of the border, I rode back one day.
       There in a veil of white by candlelight, 
           she knelt to pray.
       The mission bells told me, that I shouldn't stay.
       South of the border, down Mexico way.

       Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
       Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)
       Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay (Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay)

       Good bye, good bye.
 

       When I was younger I believed, that 
           dreams came true.  Now I wonder.
       Cause' I've seen much more dark skies,
           than blue.  Now I wonder.

       I keep on praying for a blue sky, 
           I keep on searching through the rain.
       I keep on thinking of the good times,
           will they ever come again?

       Now I wonder.  Now I wonder.

       I keep on praying for a blue sky, 
          I keep on searching through the rain.
       I keep on thinking of the good times, 
          will they ever come again?

       Now I wonder.  Oh I wonder.

       When I was younger I believed, 
          that I could win.  Now I wonder.
       There was a time when you and I,
          walked hand in hand.  and now I wonder.

       I keep on searching for the old me, 
           I keep on thinking I can change.
       I keep on hoping for a new day, 
           will I ever feel the same?

       Now I wonder.  Oh, I wonder.  Now I wonder.
 

       I watched the sun roll down in Texas.
       Out on the edge of town in Texas.
       I keep on hanging round in Texas.
       Waiting for my lucky day.

       Lost everything I had in Texas.
       A millon dreams went bad in Texas.
       Sometimes they say life turns against us.
       But I'm waiting for my lucky day.

       I watch the sun go down, I keep hanging on 
          waiting for the wind to change.
       I watch the sun go down, And I keep hanging 
          on, I know it's coming up again.

       The friends I had are all gone in Texas.
       Sometimes you stand alone in Texas.
       Just when it all goes wrong in Texas.
       I'm waiting for my lucky day.

       I watch that sun go down, I keep hanging on, 
          waiting for the wind to change.
       I watch the sun go down, And I keep hanging
          on, waiting for my lucky day.
       Waiting for my lucky day.
       Waiting for my lucky day.
 

       Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
       Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.

       Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
       That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.
       You can fly away, in the sky away.
       You're more lucky than me.

       I also had a pretty girl, she's not with me today.
       They're all the same those pretty girls.
       Take tenderness, then they fly away.

       Yellow Bird, yellow bird.

       Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
       That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.
       You can fly away, in the sky away.
       You're more lucky than me.

       Wish that I were a yellow bird,
           I'd fly away with you.
       But I am not a yellow bird, so here I sit,
          nothing I can do.

       Yellow bird, yellow bird.
 

       Return to me, oh my dear I'm so lonely.
       Hurry back, hurry back, oh my love I'm yours.
       Return to me, for my heart wants you only.
       Hurry home, hurry home, won't you please
          hurry home to my heart?

       My darling, if I've hurt you I'm sorry.
       Forgive me, and please say you'll be mine.
       Return to me, come back belamia.
       Hurry back, hurry home, to my arms 
          to my lips to my heart.

       Oh my darling. If I've hurt you I'm sorry.
       Forgive me, and please say you'll be mine.
       Return to me, caramia te amor, so lo tu, 
          so lo tu, so lo tu, mi amor.
 

       Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower,oh.
       I dreamt of paradise for two. 
       (My lovely Leilani)
       You are my paradise completed. 
       (My lovely Leilani)
       You are my dream come true.

       Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower, oh.
       Tropic skies are jealous while they shine. 
       (My lovely Leilani)
       I think they're jealous of your blue eyes.
       (My lovely Leilani)
       Jealous because you're mine.

       I think they're jealous of your blue eyes. 
       (My lovely Leilani)
       Jealous because you're mine.

       Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower, oh.
       Nature fashioned roses kissed with dew. 
       (My lovely Leilani)
       I think she placed them in a bower. 
       (My lovely Leilani)
       It was the start of you.  My lovely Leilani.
 

       The future looks so bright ahead, 
          the past is far behind.
       I think of all the things we said, 
          and you are on my mind.

       Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow.

       Mexico has sunny skies, 
          Hawaii knows no rain.
       Any place you want sweetheart, 
          I will buy the ring.

       Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow.

       Anything you want sweetheart, 
          anything you do.
       Any place you go sweetheart, 
          I will follow you.

       Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow.
       Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow.

       This car I drive is old and beat, 
          it may not see me through.
       This car I drive is fine with me, 
          it's headed back to you.

       Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow.

       Only 40 more miles to go.
