Where are the old friends of yesterday
Where is the town I once knew
Gone the wishing well where we sometimes could tell of the wishes
That never came true (came true)
Many years were spent in dreaming of happy childhood scenes
All through the years I've learned
And now that I've returned
I know what lonesome means
I am lost in the heart of my own home town
There is nothing familiar in view (in view)
The playgrounds of youth have disappeared
And the strangeness of all makes me blue (so blue)
There was no one to meet me, I felt so all alone
There was no one to greet me that I have ever known (ever known)
I was lost in the heart of my own home town
There's nobody left but me (no one but me)
Lost in the heart of my own home town
There is nobody left here but me
(nobody left here but me)
