LONELY
(Mencher / Davis)

as recorded by Kitty Kallen
& vocal quartet
with Jack Pleis & his Orchestra
October 1953


(lonely, so lonely,
lonely, lonely)

Lonely, (lonely)
There are people all around me but I'm lonely! (lonely)
Gee I wish I wasn't lonely! (lonely)
Every dream and every memory makes me lonely,
So lonely!

Since you went away I keep pretending,
And hoping you still care.
I just can't believe this is the ending
Of our love affair!

If only (only)
You would spare my broken heart and say you miss me! (miss me)
How I wish you'd tell me that you miss me, (miss me)
Just as much as I miss you!

Darling,
Without you life is sad,
But I wouldn't be feeling half as bad
If I knew that you were lonely too!

(lonely,
miss me,
how I wish you'd tell me that you miss me 
as much as I miss you)

Oh darling,
Without you life is sad,
But I wouldn't be feeling half as bad
If I knew that you were lone-, lonely too! (so lonely)
Gee I wish I knew that you were lonely too!
