Lonely

(Noel Gay)

Al Bowlly acc. by Orchestra directed by Ronnie Munro


You went away, out of my life
That seems to me all wrong
You were to me, all of my life
Never a day seemed wrong

Why did this seemingly heavenly scheme
Have to go so impossibly wrong
And, why came the day, you went away
Had you to go, couldn't you stay

I'm lonely, because you're far away
Lonely, because you're gone
Lonely, for I loves away
Only my thoughts go on

Daytime, I long for night to fall
Night time I long for day
Hoping that you'll come back again
Lonely 'cos you're away

Daytime, I long for night to fall
Night time I long for day
I'm hoping that you'll come back again
Lonely 'cos you're away
