why should i be lonely

oh the moonlight's so bright makes me lonely tonight

everything seems to make me feel blue

dear

i am downhearted now

i am lonesome somehow

'cause you're proving you're untrue to me

why should i be so lonely?

why should i be so sad?

though another is taking her away from me

the best pal that i ever had

she's taking the sunshine with her

leaving the clouds for me

but why should i be so lonesome

when there's nobody's lonesome for me?

oh the violets so blue are calling for you

the roses so sweet make me lonely

they bring to my mind the sweet happy time

when your love was only for me

why should i be so lonely?

why should i be so sad?

though another is taking her away from me

the best pal that i ever had

she's taking the sunshine with her

leaving the clouds for me

but why should i be so lonesome

when there's nobody lonesome for me?
