We were so happy, you and I
Why did we drift apart
I can't forget you, though I try
You're always in my heart
There's no one to console me when I'm blue
There's no one who can take the place of you
I'm lonesome and sorry
Because you went away
Lonesome and sorry
I miss you more each day
When night time comes stealing
I wonder how you're feeling
Are you lonesome and sorry
The same, dear, as me
Though you've been gone a little while
To me it seems like years
I have forgotten how to smile
My eyes are blind with tears
Our old time friends all ask for you in vain
I always say that you'll be back again
I'm lonesome and sorry
Because you went away
Lonesome and sorry
I miss you more each day
When night time comes stealing
I wonder how you're feeling
Are you lonesome and sorry
The same, dear, as me
Are you lonesome and sorry
The same, dear, as me

Lonesome and sorry
Because you went away.
Lonesome and sorry,
I miss you more each day!
When night time comes stealing,
I wonder how you're feeling;
Are you lonesome and sorry
The same, dear, as me?
When night time comes stealing,
I wonder how you're feeling;
Are you lonesome and sorry
The same, dear, as me?
