Everybody's going out and having fun

I'm just a fool for staying home and having none

I can't get over how she set set me free oh lonesome me
A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round

I know that I should have some fun and paint the town

A lovesick fool is blind and just can't see oh lonesome me

I'll bet she's not like me she's out and fancy free

If I could see you just one time oh how it'd ease my troubled mind

If I could hold you just one time and then pretend that you're still mine
Lips that used to thrill me so they now thrill someone else I know

Gone is the love that once was mine wish I could see you just one time

I I I I miss you so oh I need you so

I I I'd give this heart of mine if I could see you just one time

It's been a blue blue day I feel like runnin' away I feel like runnin' away from it all

My love has been untrue she's found somebody new it's been a blue blue day for me
Well I feel like crying dying what can I do

I feel like praying saying I'm glad we're through

It's been a blue blue day I feel like runnin' away I feel like runnin' away from the blues

[ ac.guitar ]

(Too soon too soon too soon to know)

It's too soon to know if I can forget her
My heart's been broken into many pieces and it's too soon to know

Time passes slow will I ever know

If I can forget her and not let it show but it's too soon to know

News travels fast when a love affair ends

People keep asking what happened to them

But it's too soon to know if I can forget her

You say that in time I'll forget how I feel but time hurts as well as it heals

You tell me you're sorry you know how I feel
But do you tell me do you know that my love is real

The hours pass slowly when you love someone still

And time hurts as well as it heals

The mem'ries of you the heartaches and blues

The dreams that I've planned I know won't come true

On your knees you are taller than trees you can look over heartaches and fears

When my faith is gone to my knees I will go growing stronger and taller than trees
(One night it was a long time ago now I knelt at my mother's knee

For I weary I was heartsick I was blue

She said son lifft up your eyes to him to him up in the skies

She was the sweet sweet girl to me no matter where I go no matter who I see

Yeah yeah yeah yeah she was the sweet sweet girl to me
She was the sweet sweet girl to me though she said goodbye and set me free

Yeah yeah yeah yeah she was the sweet sweet girl to me

I can't talk about her cause she's with someone new

Cause while she was with me she was true true true

Sweet dreams of you every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me it's plain I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you the whole night through instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you...

I've known many loves before I met you but I'll never love again
I could probably know others too but I'll never love again
After knowin' your love I'll never love again I'll never love again
(I've held many girls before I held you) but I'll never love again
(I could probably know others too) but I'll never love again
After knowin' your love I'll never love again I'll never love again

Castles were made high and mighty and oceans were made deep and wide

We were made for each other that's how I feel about my love for you
Up in the sky is a rainbow that some people say has no end

This I don't know it's true but there's no end of my love for you

Living each moment waiting for your touch

Praying each night you'll want me half as much

I know we'll love again maybe tomorrow maybe tomorrow
I don't know where or when maybe tomorrow maybe tomorrow
You say you say you're gonna cry because they've made us say goodbye
Our love will stand their test of time and our ages won't be there to draw the line
I know we'll love again maybe tomorrow maybe tomorrow

Although you mean and throw to me just like a fool won't set you free

I love you so oh don't you know it has to be mhm
Although at times your love's not true though you've had friends I know not who

Can't let you go I love you so it has to be

Well you can't be happy no use to try I wouldn't be satisfied

If you were gone and I was not by your side

We were alone last night pretending wrong is right

Time flew by it seemed I wish it had been a dream
You said those words again we were so close again

But it's easier to awake from a dream and cry than to walk away and say goodbye

(To count the years since we've met so long our lips have been sealed

But nothing can make us forget when we kissed and how it made us feel)

I've got a lot of memories to last the rest of my life

So if you don't want to love me baby that'll be all right

I'm gonna take all the lovin' that I have for you
I'm gonna take all the loneliness sit right down with the blues

I'm gonna give myself a party serve old memories

Give myself a party think of how it used to be

Remember all the happiness we once knew

Your love is colder than a foggy river flowing o'er a heart of stone

You left me stranded on this foggy river drifting helpless and alone
Can't escape this broken heart of mine there's no freedom anymore

Oh heaven help me on this foggy river help me find the distant shore

[ guitar ]

There's no tomorrow on this foggy river only mem'ries linger on

Far far away is my love of yesterday

And she's gone gone gone gone from me from me
Far far away is my life my love my way

And wonder where where where oh where can she be

Days endless days nights dark as may lonely I'm lonely where can she be

Far far away is my love of yesterday

Wonder where where where where where oh where can she be

[ guitar ]

Far far away...

(Everybody everybody everybody but me)

Everybody's got someone caryin' everybody's got a love they're sharin'
Everybody everybody but me

Everybody is gettin' ready everybody is goin' steady

Everybody everybody but me

I stay home on a Friday night I go to bed at eight

On Saturday night I'm all alone still ain't got a date

Everybody's out romancin' havin' fun and goin' dancin'

If I have wounded any soul today if I have caused one foot to go astray
If I have walked in my own willful way dear Lord forgive

If I have uttered idol words or fame if I have turned aside from want or pain

Yes I offend some other through the strain dear Lord forgive

[ organ ]

Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee forgive the secret sins I do not see

Do you think the raindrops will ever stop falling
Do you think the stars will grow dim

Do you think my teardrops will ever stop flowing till I want your love back again

I was a fool when I played with your heart

And brought you the shame that has torn us apart

Do you think I'll ever get over the sorrow for being the fool that I've been

(I was a fool when I played with your heart...

Blues in my heart oh how it aches nobody knows the sorrow it takes
I should have known right from the start you'd leave me with these blues in my heart

Rain's falling down down from the sky even the sun's refusing to shine

Everything's wrong since we're apart I've got these lonesome blues in my heart

[ ac.guitar ]

It's been a bad bad day for me it's been a sad sad day for me

My baby left on her way now I'm left here to pay it's been a bad bad day for me
It's been a dark dark day for me the sun won't shine on my blue misery

Tears are falling like rain only sorrow remains it's been a sad sad day for me

Everywhere I go trouble greets me sorrow seems to know just where to meet me

As much as the stars need the heaven as much as the roses need dew

As much as the plea in a baby's cry well that's how much I need you

As much as the flowers need sunshine as much as the sky needs the blue

As much as much as my love is true well that's hoew much I need you

I need you I need you to guide me this much I know it's true

You alone are my inspiration in everything I do

Well if you don't know it know that I do know that I love you yes love you

Well if you don't know it baby what can I do
I tell you that I love you love you love you love you

Well how many times do you think I'm gonna tell you

How many times do you think you ought to know

I fell just like I was a hung up record I love you love you so

Well if you don't know it then you must be blind

I can't stop loving you so I've made up my mind

To live in memories of old lonesome times
I can't stop wanting you it's useless to say

So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

Those happy hours that we once knew though long ago still make me blue

They say that time heels the broken heart

But time is stood still since we've been apart

I can't stop loving you...

Don't tell me your troubles I got troubles of my own

Don't tell me your troubles just leave me alone

Leave me alone go on home tell it to a friend I got troubles of my own
Say your sweet love left ye what you think about me

Got them same old heartaches same old miseries

Leave me alone go on home tell it to a friend I got troubles of my own

Uh huh didn't work out did it you'll have to admit it

It wasn't so easy was it didn't work out did it

You thought love had made me blind you could do just as you please

But just like a graet big ol' neon sign I could see you were cheatin' on me

Uh huh didn't work out did it...

[ guitar ]

Uh huh didn't work out did it...
