"Lonely Days" is a 1970 song by The Bee Gees, featured on their album 2 Years On. The song was noted for its innovative structure and changing tempo, helping establish the band as proponents of the incipient singer/songwriter movement.[1] It was their first Top Five hit in the US, peaking at number three in the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching #1 on the Cashbox and Record World charts.

In many interviews, the Bee Gees have said that they wrote this song and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" in the same night that they reunited.
