Lyrics
LONELY DOWN HERE AT THE TOP
I was hoping that you?d see my picture in the magazine of me and my new car
And I was thinking if you would be thinking,
what a wonder that I?ve come this far
It?s hard to believe it, wish you could?ve seen it? suddenly I?m the cream of the crop
It?s a dream every minute, but you?re not in it?
It?s lonely down here at the top
Now did I tell you that I read every letter
you wrote me until I lost track
Your words were so tender but by then I surrendered to desire; there was no turning back
It was a necessary evil that took me on to make it,
oh I just couldn?t stop?
But that?s the path that I?ve taken, but my heart, it?s breaking?
It?s lonely down here at the top
This reversal of fortune has got me, and I?m sorry
I can?t turn back the clock
Guess I?m doin much better; but still reading your letters and lonely down here, I said it?s lonely my dear ?
It?s lonely down here at the top
