This is a song that Cheryl wrote in a hotel room when she woke up a little lonely. Here is how Cheryl described it:
I woke up with an odd sort of blue feeling on the morning of March 7, and was surprised to feel that way since I've been pretty happy lately. I kept puzzling about it and got this vibe that there was this little sad feeling that had been left in that hotel room by a previous guest and had no where to go. I sort of felt sorry for the little sad feeling and was glad it had me to get into, so it wouldn't just be there in that hotel room forever.
The original title was "A Loneliness", but Cheryl didn't like that, so she changed it. You can watch Cheryl perform Little Lonely Thing on YouTube.

- Words And Music By:
- Cheryl Wheeler
- A Loneliness
- No reason I guess
- No dark and troubled time
- Just a loneliness
- some traveler left behind
- And it had no place to be
- So it crept inside of me
- But I don't mind
- It nestled right in
- just to hang it's head and cry
- For the cold north wind
- For the wide, white, winter sky
- There'll be no brave face to keep
- till it's cried itself to sleep
- So I won't try
- And when it wakes up I'll explain
- How winter always leads to spring
- How even when our skies are blue
- we need a little lonely too
- To keep our hearts stretched open wide
- To touch the edge of either side
- So I'll keep it right here
- This little lonely thing
- I'll lend my ear
- Be kind and comforting
- It's the least that I can do
- Because I've been lonely too
- Lonely too
- No reason I guess
- No dark and troubled time
- Just a loneliness
- some traveler left behind
