Chiseled In Stone

You ran crying to the bedroom, I ran off to the bar

Another piece 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 an 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 to get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars

That you've got someone to go home to"

You don't know about lonely or how long nights can be

'Til you've lived through the story that's still living in me

You don't know about sadness 'til you face life alone

You don't know about lonely 'til 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 nights can be

'Til you've lived through the story that old man just told me

And you don't know about sadness 'til you face life alone

You don't know about lonely 'til it's chiseled in stone

You don't know about lonely 'til it's chiseled in stone
