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...
