Long Lonely Nights
Lee Andrews and The Hearts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cry my eyes out over you
Wond'ring if I did right
And why you left me with a broken heart
Oh, long, long and lonely nights
Oh, how I miss you, my dear
Please, please, come back to me
As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face
When I pass through (yeah!) my doorway
What's left for me to face?
Oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone
As I go along my lonely way I visualize your face
When I pass through (yeah!) my doorway
What's left for me to face?
Oh, oh, oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone
Please, please, come back to me
You've been gone too long
The lyrics to Lee Andrews & The Hearts's song Long Lonely Nights paint a picture of heartbreak and loneliness. The song is an expression of the pain and longing that the singer feels after being left with a broken heart. The lyrics suggest that the singer is deeply in love with someone who has left them, and they are struggling to come to terms with the breakup.
The opening line, "Long, long and lonely nights, I cry my eyes out over you," perfectly encapsulates the feelings of the singer. They are spending their nights alone, crying over the person that they love. They question whether they made the right decision and why they were left with a broken heart. As they continue on their lonely journey, they visualize the face of their lost love, and they are left to face the emptiness that they're feeling.

I think Questlove's dad is in this group.
@Irishman10704
Questloveâs Dad was lead singer Arthur Lee Andrews Thompson. He used his two middle names as his stage name. Better yet, Leeâs dad and Questâs grandpa Beachy Thompson was a tenor singer for the Dixie Hummingbirds for almost 50 years (1944-1991). Beachy would die 3 years later. Arthur âLee Andrewsâ Thompson himself passed on in 2016 at 79, the same age his father died at 22 years earlier. RIP Beachy and Lee.
