Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

I know what it means to be lonesome
I know what it means to be blue
I’ll take all the blame
Let us make up like all true lovers do

Chorus
You know I’m blue
You know it’s just sine you
Have gone and left me lonesome
There’s no-one who can take the place of you
So, please don’t leave me lonesome
Dear tell me when will the sun shine
For me again?
When will my heart beat right again?
You know it’s true that I love only you
So, why do you leave me lonesome
