Only The Lonely

Aretha Franklin

Each place I go only the lonely go

Some little small cafe

The songs I know only the lonely know

Each melody recalls a love that used to be

The dreams I dream only the lonely dream

Of lips as warm as May

That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme

That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care

And you recall each fun time

Those picnics at the beach when love was new

It well could be the one time

A hopeless little dream like that comes true

If you find love hang on to each caress

And never let love go

For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness

The heartbreak only the lonely know

This is one of my favorite songs by her. Thanks for a complete post. This is why this woman is the Queen of Soul for she feels her music and expresses it in an epic way. Pure singing!....Strong, soft, wistful, & controlled. Brava!!!!!!

How could anyone sing this song better than this? Sinatra sang it about as good as it could be done, but.....not any better than Aretha. I was playing cards with my brother Gary and my wife Karen when it came on the radio and I had to stop till it was through. She definitely sang it better than Frank.

Ditto. This version is far better than Frank Sinatra's oh-so famous version. Many folks have such mixed opinions about Aretha during this period, her Columbia years. All I have to say, though it may not matter at all, is Aretha at anytime, anywhere is worthwhile, wonderful and awe-inspiring. Her voice melts everything inside of me. I love her dearly--I suppose an understatment.

As a teenager I would listen to this song for weeks after a breakup. Lip-syncing into my hairbrush, embarrassed if my mom, dad or brother walked in and caught me..

This aint Soul music the genre...this is JAZZ! This is very early 60's when Aretha was sangin Jazz & Blues standards. But of course, its sung with soul. Imho beats Sinatra's version.

@PrettyVillan but of course. in her prime NO ONE could touch this woman! women of soul can only hope to aspire to these heights! the interpretation is second to only that of Billie and her style of performance. this is amazing to me!!!
