D            A7
 When you're all alone
D   A7
 All  the children grown
D     A                      Cdim
 And, like starlings, flown away

  Lonely early, doesn't it?

D    A7
 When  your twilight nears
D   A7
 And  one face appears
D       A            Cdim
 Turning winter years    to May
B7              Em     A7
  It gets lonely  early, doesn't it?
D          Bm
 Lonely early, doesn't it?
Em                     A7            Adim   Bm
  Still the old heart's  young enough    to say
