Reisa L. Gerber Another Lonely Night lyrics

When I saw you for the first time,
Shades, brown hair and a tight black suit,
I thought you'd say that you had children, and try to ease yourself away
Hard as that might be for one,
it happens all the time,
on the cottonpickin' rime,
twin beds and a rollaway-
Once I had a teacher, who was just as nice as anyone,
but she had given all she could,
And then there was this pretty boy, who wrote such pretty song and dance-
And I cried to him one night if he would just give me a chance-
But he sang of disillusionment

And he mustered up a fire
Into a greasy frying pan
And never told the real truth-
I saw him in a bar one night, dancing with some pretty girl,
So far away from pretty dreams I'd written in the stars,
So many years have passed since I had hoped and dreamed to spite,
And the more I said, the less it turned,
Another lonely night.
