The sunshine comes from Lonesome Valley
And all alone I must remain
While far away through Lonesome Valley
Comes a dying cry of the midnight train
How many tears, how many sorrow?
How many hearts have died in pain?
Whose love today is gone tomorrow
Carried away on that midnight train
We shared our love in sweet surrender
With happy tears and hidden pain
For well we knew our dream was ending
And you must go on that midnight train
That heart burns low the song is dying
And only memories remain
The teardrops flow my heart keeps crying
When I hear the wail of the midnight train
How many tears, how many sorrow?
How many hearts have died in pain?
Whose love today is gone tomorrow
Carried away on that midnight train
