Solitaire – The Carpenters lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
There was a manA lonely manWho lost his loveThrough his indifferenceA heart that caredThat went unsharedUntil it diedWithin his silenceAnd solitaire’s the only game in townAnd every road that takes himTakes him downAnd by himself it’s easy to pretendHe’ll never love againAnd keeping to himself he plays the gameWithout her loveIt always ends the sameWhile life goes on around him everywhereHe’s playing solitaireA little hopeGoes up in smokeJust how it goesGoes without sayingThere was a manA lonely manWho would commandThe hand he’s playingAnd solitaire’s the only game in townAnd every road that takes himTakes him downAnd by himself it’s easy to pretendHe’ll never love againAnd keeping to himself he plays the gameWithout her loveIt always ends the sameWhile life goes on around him everywhereHe’s playing solitaireAnd solitaire’s the only game in townAnd every road that takes himTakes him downWhile life goes on around him everywhereHe’s playing solitaire
