It started on a lonely Friday The world was gray and overcast again I couldn't find no one to be my friend
Locked the bedroom door as always Saw my brother's records laying there And so began a life-long love affair
I put the record on the stereo And though I wasn't quite a Romeo The loneliness was gone When I put the record on And with the spinning of the turn table I felt a burden lifted from my soul I saw a new day dawn When I put the record on
Years went by and still I struggled Lovers lost to what I could not say Running from the sober light of day
But as the world around me crumbled I heard the sweet and lyrical refrain Heroes walking homeward through the rain
I put the record on the stereo And though I wasn't quite a Romeo The loneliness was gone When I put the record on And with the spinning of the turn table I felt a burden lifted from my soul I saw a new day dawn When I put the record on
And it said: Shalalalala Shalalalalala You ain't alone in your sorrow Shalalalala Shalalalalala You ain't alone in your pain Shalalalala Shalalalalala You'll feel better tomorrow
I put the record on the stereo And though I wasn't quite a Romeo The loneliness was gone When I put the record on And with the spinning of the turn table I felt a burden lifted from my soul I saw a new day dawn When I put the record on
