When Your Baby Ain't Around
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 don't recall the icebox ever humming quite so loud
That clock upon the wall sounding like a crowd
My that dog is restless he don't ever settle down
Now ain't it strange what occupies your mind when your baby ain't around
When your baby ain't around I swear the moon and stars won't shine
And nights get longer all the time
I'm so lonesome missing you if you wanna know the truth
I never thought I'd ever be this down
That's all my body's got a mind to do now that my baby ain't around
I don't recall this bedroom ever being quite so large
Or this big old mattress ever sleeping quite so hard
My the days come early when your sleep is less than sound
Dreams don't seem to matter much at all when your baby ain't around
When your baby ain't around...
[ guitar ]
When your baby ain't around...
Well that's all my body's got a mind to do now that my baby ain't around
Now that my baby ain't around now that my baby ain't around
Now that my baby ain't around my baby baby ain't around
Now that my baby ain't around
