So Doggone Lonesome (1956)
I do my best to hid this low down feeling
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong
But they're always asking me about your 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'd 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 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


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 till 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 aught 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
