So Doggone Lonesome - Remastered 2022

I do my best to hide this lowdown feelin'
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

If they ask me, I guess I'd be denyin'
That I've been unhappy all alone
But if they heard my heart, they'd hear it cryin'
Where's my darling? When's she coming home?

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
But I make it pretty good until that moon comes shining through
And that I get so doggone lonesome

Time stands still when you're a waitin'
Sometimes, I think my heart is stoppin' too
One lonely hour seems forever
60 minutes is more to wait for you

But I guess I'll keep waitin' '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

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
'Cause I get so doggone lonesome
