So Doggone Lonesome

[Verse 1]
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 'em that you're gone

[Verse 2]
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?"

[Chorus]
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 then I get so doggone lonesome

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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
'Сause I get so doggone lonesome
