Traveling Down A Lonely Road (Love Theme from 'La Strada') Lyrics

Why am I alone?
Why am I alone,
Traveling down a lonely road?

Darling, can't you see?
I don't wanna be,
Traveling down a lonely road.

If you would open up your heart
And let my love come shining through,
You'd know how much
I wanna walk the road with you . . .

Won't you understand?
Won't you take my hand?
It's been such a lonely road . . .

< Chorus Italian lyrics >

If you would open up your heart
And let my love come shining through,
You'd know how much
I wanna walk the road with you . . .

Won't you understand?
Won't you take my hand?
It's been such a lonely road . . .

Such a lonely road . . .
