So Doggone Lonesome

I do my best to hide this lowdown feeling

I try to make believe there's nothing wrong

But they're always asking me about you darling

And it hurts me so to tell them that you're gone

If they ask me, I guess, I'd be denying

That I've been unhappy all alone

But if they heard my heart they'd hear it crying

Where's my darling when's she coming 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 shining through

And that I get so doggone lonesome

Time stands still when you're a waiting

Sometimes I think my heart is stopping too

One lonely hour seems forever

Sixty minutes more to wait for you

But I guess I'll keep waiting til you're with me

Cause I believe that loving 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
