You'll find him on the corner
Of any busy street
You'll see him the tavern
Where lonely people meet
He'll be staring at the walls of
A drab old boarding home
Someone who lives in sadness
The man who walks alone
You'll often see him watching
Little children and their pay
Their gaiety and laughter
Bring dreams of yesterday
He'll smile but for a moment
Remaining joys he's known
Then comes a tear of sadness
The man walks alone
If you should see him walking
If he should pass your way
One cheerful word of greeting
Would brighten up his day
Remember he has no one
His friends have passed and gone
He lives with only memories
This man who walks alone
