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
