The Louvin Brothers - Love Is a Lonely Street

Maybe once in a lifetime, you may find that perfect love
The kind that lives forever, a gift from up above
And then an unkind word that's said or a careless love affair
Can leave a hurt that you can't hide and you're too hurt to care

Love is a lonely street for those who go astray
It's paved with broken hearts that someone threw away
They'll walk with memories, the bitter and the sweet
Follow their destiny, love is a lonely street

There are times you shouldn't dare to grant your heart its wish
For heartaches come so easy when you're hungry for a kiss
And you can't see the danger of sweet arms that hold you tight
Love is so blind when you are blue and wrong can seem so right

Love is a lonely street for those who go astray
It's paved with broken hearts that someone threw away
They'll walk with memories, the bitter and the sweet
Follow their destiny, love is a lonely street
