I keep staring at the door and I keep waiting for the bell That used to say you've come to call once more The beginning's begun, the beginning of loneliness Just look around and you'll see an empty chair There in the corner of the room Where you would wait 'til I walked down the stair The beginning's begun, the beginning of loneliness You've gone away And loneliness just fills my life and never goes away My empty arms reach for you Oh, won't you think it over, my love? Can't we start again? Think it over, come back Just how many tears do I have to cry? You've got to love me, if you don't love me I'll die The beginning's begun, the beginning of loneliness You've gone away And loneliness just fills my life and never goes away My empty arms reach for you Oh, won't you think it over, my love? Can't we start again? Think it over, come back Just how many tears do I have to cry? You've got to love me, if you don't love me I'll die You know I've said, you've got to love me, if you don't love me I'll die The beginning's begun, the beginning of loneliness
