It started on a lonely Friday
|
The world was gray and overcast again
|
I couldn't find no one to be my friend
|
|
Locked the bedroom door as always
|
Saw my brother's records laying there
|
And so began a life-long love affair
|
|
I put the record on the stereo
|
And though I wasn't quite a Romeo
|
The loneliness was gone
|
When I put the record on
|
And with the spinning of the turn table
|
I felt a burden lifted from my soul
|
I saw a new day dawn
|
When I put the record on
|
|
Years went by and still I struggled
|
Lovers lost to what I could not say
|
Running from the sober light of day
|
|
But as the world around me crumbled
|
I heard the sweet and lyrical refrain
|
Heroes walking homeward through the rain
|
|
I put the record on the stereo...
|
|
And it said:
|
Shalalalala Shalalalalala
|
You ain't alone in your sorrow
|
Shalalalala Shalalalalala
|
You ain't alone in your pain
|
Shalalalala Shalalalalala
|
You'll feel better tomorrow
|
|
I put the record on the stereo...
|
