It's so Doggone Lonesome

It's so Doggone Lonesome - Johnny Rivers

I do my best to hide this low down feeling

I try to make believe there's nothing wrong

Oh but they're always asking me about you darling

And it hurts me so to tell them that you're gone

If they ask me I guess I'd be denying

That I've been unhappy all along

Oh but if they heard my heart they'd hear it crying

Oh where's my darling

When she's coming home

Well I've asked myself a million times

What's right for me to do

To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for you

Well I make it pretty good

Until that moon comes shining through

And then I get so doggone lonesome

Well time stands still when you're a waiting

Sometimes I think my heart is stopping too

You know one lonely hour seems forever

Just sixty minutes more to wait for you

Oh but I guess I'll keep waiting until you're with me

'Cause I believe that loving you is right

Well I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow

If I can't have you with me tonight

Well I know I'll keep on loving you

Because true love can't be killed

I know I ought to get you off my mind

But I guess I never will

I could have a dozen others

But I know I'd love you still

'Cause I get so doggone lonesome

Oh I get so doggone lonesome

Oh I get so doggone lonesome
