IS IT ONLY THAT YOU'RE LONELY
(Aaron Schroeder / Ben Weisman)


Lefty Frizzell - 1959



Is it only that you're lonely (Lonely)
And I happen to be near
Will a beautiful beginning
Soon be ending with a tear

Is it only that you're lonely (Lonely)
For two arms to hold you tight
Will you give your love tomorrow
As you give your lips tonight

That light that shines in your eyes
I've seen many times, and I knew
Those eyes were just tellin' lies
Oh, my darlin', are you

Heaven knows how much I love you (Love you)
Will you never set me free
Is it only that you're lonely
Or lonely only for me

(That light that shines in your eyes)
(I've seen many times, and I knew)
Those eyes were just tellin' lies
Oh, my darlin', are you

Heaven knows how much I love you (Love you)
Will you never set me free
Is it only that you're lonely
Or lonely only for me (Only for me)
