(originally by Andy Williams)

There was a man, a lonely man
Who lost his love, through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unchecked
And slowly died within his silence

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes me, takes me down
By myself, it's easy to pretend
I'll never love again

And keeping to myself I plays the game
Without your love it always ends the same
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire

Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes me, takes me down
And by myself it's easy to pretend
You're coming back again

And keeping to himself I plays the game
Without your love it always ends the same
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire

And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes me, takes me down
While life goes on around me everywhere
I'm playing solitaire
