so doggone lonesome

i do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'

i try to make believe there's nothin' wrong

but they're always askin' me about you darlin'

and it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone

if they ask me

i guess

i'd be denyin'

that i've been unhappy all alone

but if they heard my heart they'd hear it cryin'

where's my darlin' when's she comin' home

i ask myself a million times what's right for me to do

to try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you

well i make it pretty good until that moon comes shinin' through

and that i get so doggone lonesome

time stands still when you're a waitin'

sometimes i think my heart is stoppin' too

one lonely hour seems forever

sixty minutes more to wait for you

but i guess i'll keep waitin' till you're with me

'cause i believe that lovin' you is right

but i don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow

if i can't have you with me tonight

well i know

i'll keep on loving you 'cause true love can't be killed

i ought to get you off of my mind but i guess i never will

i could have a dozen others but i know

i'd love you still

'cause i get so doggone lonesome
