as recorded by Patti Page

Well you ask me if I'll forget my baby;
I guess I will, some day!
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way.
You ask me if I'll get along;
I guess I will, some way!
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way.

God gave me that man to lean on,
Then he put me on my own.
Heaven help me understand
And have the strength to stand alone.
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way.

Oh you ask me if I'll miss his kisses;
I guess I will, every day!
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way.
You ask me if I'll find another;
I don't know, I can't say.
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way.

God gave me that man to lean on,
Then he put me on my own.
Heaven help me understand
And have the strength to stand alone.
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way,
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way,
I don't like it but I guess things happen that way...
