"Long Lonely Nights," written by Lee Andrews, Bernice Davis, Doug Henderson, and Mimi Uniman, was first released by Lee Andrews & the Hearts' single in 1957; their version was their first entry onto the Billboard Hot 100 chart but stalled at no. 45. Clyde McPhatter followed the same year and reached the no. 49 position on the Billboard chart; however, it was Bobby Vinton who broke the top 40 with his version in 1965, which rose to the no. 17 slot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (Whitburn, 2013). The Hearts hailed from Philadelphia, PA and were formed in 1953. Lead singer Andrews' name was Arthur Lee Andrew Thompson and when deciding on a name for the group, he did not think Arthur Thompson and the Hearts sounded right, so he used his middle names, which sounded more professional (Warner, 2006).
Lyrics:
Long, long and lonely nights
I cry my eyes out over you
Wondering if I did right
And why you left me
With a broken heart
Oh, long, long and lonely nights
Oh, how I miss you, my dear
Please, please, come back to me
How I wish you were here
As I go along my lonely way
I visualize your face
When I pass through
(Yeah) my doorway
What's left for me to face
Oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone
As I go along my lonely way
I visualize your face
When I pass through
(Yeah) my doorway
What's left for me to face
Oh, long, long and lonely nights
I guess you're never coming home
Long, long and lonely nights
Ever since you've been gone
Please, please, come back to me
You've been gone too long
