My Lonely Heart

My lonely heart
Holds much despair
Emptiness
Emptiness
Is often found there

My pillow is filled
With tears and fears
Though we've been married
For eighteen years

My lonely heart
Cries night and day
My husband's love
Seems miles away

Though we're together
Day by Day
My lonely heart
Cries night and days

Is there any
Consolation
For my lonely heart?
