So Doggone Lonesome - Don McLean

Well I do my best to hide this lowdown feeling

I try to tell myself there’s nothing wrong

But they’re always asking me about you darling

It hurts me so to tell them that you’re gone

If they ask me, I would be denying

That I have been unhappy all alone

But if they heard my heart they’d hear it crying:

«Where's my darling, when’s she coming home?»

Well I ask myself a million times what’s right for me to do

Try to lose these blues alone or hang around for you

Well I make it pretty good until the moon comes shining through

Then I get so doggone lonesome

Time passes slowly when you’re waiting

Sometimes I think my heart is stopping too

One lonely hour takes forever

Sixty minutes more to wait for you

Well I guess I’ll keep on loving you forever

Cause I believe that loving you is right

I don’t care if the sun don’t shine tomorrow

I can’t have you by my side tonight

Well I guess, I’ll keep on loving you cause true love can’t be killed

I probably should forget you but I guess I never will

Well I could’ve had those others but I know I need you still

Then I get so doggone lonesome

Well I ask myself a million times what’s right for me to do

Try to lose these blues alone or hang around for you

Well I make it pretty good until the moon comes shining through

Then I get so doggone lonesome
