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 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...
