Please don't smile when I sigh
Please don't laugh when I cry
I'm just a fool who remembers
Someone who bid me goodbye

I am just a lonesome lover
Only trying to discover
Someone who'll be sweet and gentle
To a heart that is so sentimental

Oh, let me hold your hand for only
Just a moment while I'm lonely
In this world there is no other
Lonesome lover like me

All my dreams are in vain
Love has brought me but pain
If you will try to console me
I'll never bore you again

I am just a lonesome lover
Only trying to discover
Someone who'll be sweet and gentle
To a heart that is so sentimental

Oh, let me hold your hand for only
Just a moment while I'm lonely
In this world there is no other
Lonesome lover like me
