It's So Doggone Lonesome
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I do my best to hide this low down feeling
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong
Oh 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 along
Oh but if they heard my heart they'd hear it crying
Oh where's my darling, when's she coming home?
Well I've asked 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
Well time stands still when you're a-waiting
Sometimes I think my heart is stopping too
You know one lonely hour seems forever
Just sixty minutes more to wait for you
Oh but I guess I'll keep waiting 'til you're with me
'Cause I believe that loving you is right
Well 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
Because true love can't be killed
I know I ought to get you off 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
Oh I get so doggone lonesome
Oh I get so doggone lonesome
