"The Two Lonely People" is a 1971 jazz standard by Bill Evans, with lyrics by Carol Hall.[1] It first appeared on The Bill Evans Album in 1971 and later appeared on the Bill Evans and Stan Getz collaboration album But Beautiful[2] and the Bill Evans and Tony Bennett collaboration album, Together Again.[3] A solo piano rendition is included on some reissues of Alone[4], and it appears on 3 of the 8 CDs of the Consecration box set (recorded 1980), suggesting that it remained a staple of Evans's live trio repertoire for the rest of his career.

Jazz improv compared it to "classical music or a great ensemble".[5]
