THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE LONESOME
(Dan Welch)


Faron Young - 1953



Tears keep rollin' down your cheek
Your voice gets choked, so you can't speak
Ev'ry day seems like a week
And that's what it's like to be lonesome

You get too blue to stay at home
But in a crowd you're still alone
You lose the will to carry on
And that's what it's like to be lonesome

Ev'ryone has a hope that's died
Ev'ryone cries a tear inside
Ev'ryone has a cross to bear
But I've got more than my share

Your mind is filled with memories
Your heart cries out for sympathy
An empty blue eternity
And that's what it's like to be lonesome

(Instrumental Break)

Ev'ryone has a hope that's died
Ev'ryone cries a tear inside
Ev'ryone has a cross to bear
But I've got more than my share

Your mind is filled with memories
Your heart cries out for sympathy
An empty blue eternity
And that's what it's like to be lonesome
