Why Should I Be Lonely?

Oh the moonlight so bright makes me lonely tonight
Everything seems to make me feel blue, dear
I am downhearted now, I am lonesome somehow
'Cause you are proving untrue

Why should I be so lonely, why should I be sad
Though another is taking from me the best pal I've ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her, leaving the clouds for me

But why should I be so lonesome when there's nobody lonesome for me
Oh the violets so blue are calling for you
The roses so sweet make me lonely
They bring to my mind the sweet happy time
When your love was only for me....

Odle ay-ee-o, d'lay-ee-ay, d'lay-ee
