Well, I know what it means to be lonesome I know what it means to be blue And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams When there's no one there with you Well, my baby, he left me this morning As the clock was striking four Oh, the sweet smiling face of my darling I may never see anymore Yes, I know what it means to be lonesome I know what it means to be blue And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams When there's no one there with you Well, I cried just some cries as we parted Heaven knows what I had been through But I'd give all on if you'd please come home I'm lonesome, I'm lonesome for you Yes, I know what it means to be lonesome I know what it means to be blue And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams When there's no one there with you Yes, I know what it means to be lonesome I know what it means to be blue And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams When there's no one there with you
