Danielle Ponder - Only The Lonely (Official Lyric Video)

Written by: Danielle Ponder & Avis Reese
Produced by: Danielle Ponder, Avis Reese, & Gianluca Buccellati

Lyrics:
Listen darling to every word I say
I left you long before today
My sweet darling don’t even try to sway
Love is lost and I must walk away

I know I’ve said it once before
But now I feel it more and more
I know I’ve said it once before
But now I feel it more and more

Only the lonely stay
When love’s no longer served
The fire doesn’t burn
They hold on so desperately

There’s a truth in the dark
It’s gonna break you down so steel your heart
You don’t love me you just lonely
That’s what my mind say
Your daddy left you guilty
That’s what you don’t see
And I give up trying cause I’m feeling world's apart
And you’ll never call it though you’re staring at the clock

I know I’ve said it all before
But now I feel it

Only the lonely stay
When love’s no longer served
The fire doesn’t burn
They hold on so desperately

And only the lonely stay
When love’s no longer served
The fire doesn’t burn
They hold on so desperately

Listen darling every word I say
I left you long before today
My sweet darling don’t even try to sway
Love is lost and I must walk away

I must walk away
I must walk away
I must walk away
I must walk away

I have never really commented on anything on social media sites. With that being said, I wanted to leave my stamp in this comment section 😁 I have never loved an artist voice the way I love this woman's voice. Usually, I'm all about the beats, as I've gotten older I've started listening to the words more in songs. The power, the soul, the pain, the love.... The list could keep going, I feel it all and I can hear it all in her voice when I listen to her songs. A woman stopped me at the gas station the other day to ask who that was singing. She told me it's been a long time since she heard a voice like hers, it just pulled her in. By the time I came out of the gas station she was already listening to her. We need more artists like her. I am so excited to see where music with positive energy can take humanity, once artists are allowed to be themselves and not propagate stereo types. As most major artists have been told to do, if they want to keep that money. If you catch my drift.

I just heard this song for the first time, and I was shaking to tears because of its beauty and power, and mood. Best emotional song I heard this year. Wow

[bigthunderbird]

Healing soul music, artistry. Legendary.

[temporarydive]

Outstanding. Heard this in "Survival Of The Thickest". Reminds me of Nina Simone in the soft parts.

[zzRider]

Saw her on CBS Saturday morning and new she had more of an artist pulse than a majority of todays artists I really hope this song gets her a larger audience

[avenuee]

The most haunting and beautiful ending to a song there has ever been . For a thousand years no song will ever end as beautifully as this one does here tonight .

[gerigilmore]

I am a 55yr young woman that saw you on CBS MORNING NEWS and fell in love with you and your music. 🎶 You inspired me to be my true self. God Bless you. Love from Buffalo, NY 🙏🏾💜🙏🏾

[aimeerodriguez]

Danielle, your music and voice explain feelings I have that my own brain isn't able to make sense of right now. I'm so grateful I was introduced to your music when I saw St. Paul and The Broken Bones a few months ago. I can't wait for your album. Xoxo

I fell in love with the songs from its first notes. Only 1.2 k likes for this??? Goosebumps through and through...

[csing]

She is the perfect mix of Aretha and Tina Turner. Love her voice.

[precioustraveler]

I’ve been listening to Danielle Ponder’s entire debut album on repeat.
I can’t believe I only discovered her last week. But THIS song has been on HARD REPEAT. This song is transcendent 😌❤
Also, I am outraged her debut album was not nominated for a Grammy?!?!?!? I only found out because I Googled assuming that her album WON!
Grammy-smammy. Ms. Ponder’s voice, lyrics, and production are GOLDEN 🏆
