I'm glad we made the most of ev'ry moment
Those memories help a lot while we're apart
I don't mean to say I'm unhappy
I don't think I've got a broken heart
 
Just plain lonesome
That's how I feel tonight
Just plain lonesome
That's what it is alright
When I think of all the fun we've had
I guess I don't feel bad
Just, you know, kind of sad

Got your letter
Showed all the neighbourhood
And your picture
Gee, but you're looking good
Folks all miss you
Outside of that, nothin' knew
Just plain lonesome for you
 
Folks all miss you
Outside of that, nothing knew
Just plain lonesome for you
