Lyrics
1. I just received your note
I’m happy that you wrote
You want to come right back
Back to my heart
I’m writing you to say
I count the hours each day
Because I’m wanting you too, sweetheart
Chorus:
It’s a lonesome old town when you’re not around
I’m lonely as I can be
I never knew how much I’d miss you
But now I can plainly see
It’s a lonesome old town when you’re not around
How I wish you’d come back to me
2. Forget the past, sweetheart
Let’s make a brand new start
There’s happiness in store for you and me
You know I care for you
I know you want me too
It seems that our love was meant to be
