[Verse1]
Oh, the moonlight so bright makes me lonely tonight
Everything seems to make me feel blue, dear
I'm downhearted now, I'm lonesome somehow
'Cause you are proving untrue
[Chorus]
But why should I be so lonely?
Why should I be so sad?
Though another is taking from me
The best pal that I ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her
And leaving the clouds for me
But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
[Verse]
The violets so blue are calling for you
The roses so sweet make me lonely
They bring to my mind a sweet happy time
When your love was only for me
[Chorus]
But why should I be so lonely?
Why should I be so sad?
Though another is taking from me
The best pal that I ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her
And leaving the clouds for me
But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
