Chiseled In Stone

You ran crying to the bedroom, I ran off to the bar Another peace of Heaven gone to Hell The words we spoke in anger just tore my world apart And I sat there feeling sorry for myself Then that old man sat down beside me and looked me in the eye And he said, "Son, I know what you?re going through" You ought-a get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars That you got some one to go home to You don?t know about lonely or how long the nights can be Till you?ve lived through the stories that still living in me You don?t know about sadness till you've faced life alone You don?t know about lonely till it's chiseled in stone So, I brought these pretty flowers hoping you would understand Sometimes a man is such a fool Those golden words of wisdom from the heart of that old man Showed me I ain?t nothing without you You don?t know about lonely or how long the nights can be Till you?ve lived through the stories that old man just told me And you don?t know about sadness till you?ve faced life alone You don?t know about lonely till it?s chiseled in stone You don?t know about lonely till it?s chiseled in stone
