THIS EVENING
Lyrics: Harold Stokes - Music:  Mary Hartline




This evening ...
I was alone this evening.
You didn't phone or let me know you cared.
I sat around and wondered where my love had gone.
This evening ...
You promised me this evening,
But evidently I was left to sigh,
To close my eyes and cry,
And wonder where my love had gone.

I try to grin and bear it -
I know it's wrong to brood.
My thoughts kept racing by me ...
I'm sure you misunderstood.

This evening ...
I waited for this evening ...
But all in vain, for as I waited there
I know beyond repair that now my love had gone from me.
