I keep staring at the door, and I keep waiting for the bell
That used to say you've come to call once more
The beginning's begun The beginning of loneliness
Just look around, and you'll see an empty chair,
There in the corner of the room,
Where you would wait, 'til I walked down the stair

The beginning's begun The beginning of loneliness
You've gone away, and loneliness just fills my life and never goes away
My empty arms reach for you
Oh, won't you think it over, my love?
Can't we start again? Think it over, come back
Just how many tears do I have to cry?
You've got to love me If you don't love me I'll die

The beginning's begun The beginning of loneliness
You've gone away, and loneliness just fills my life and never goes away
My empty arms reach for you
Oh, won't you think it over, my love?
Can't we start again? Think it over, come back
Just how many tears do I have to cry?
You've got to love me If you don't love me I'll die

You know I said, you've got to love me If you don't love me I'll die
The beginning's begun The beginning of loneliness
