It's So Doggone Lonesome

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
