Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong
But they're always askin' me about you, darling
And it hurts me so to tell 'em that you're gone
[Verse 2]
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 darling? When's she comin' home?"
[Verse 3]
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 shining through
And then I get so doggone lonesome
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Well, I know I'll keep on loving you 'cause true love can't be killed
I oughta 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
