Don McLean So Doggone Lonesome Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I do my best to hide this lowdown feeling
I try to tell myself there's nothing wrong
But they're always asking me about you darling
It hurts me so to tell them that you're gone

[Verse 2]
If they ask me, I would be denying
That I have been unhappy all alone
But if they heard my heart they'd hear it crying:
"Where's my darling, when's she coming home?"
[Chorus 1]
Well I ask myself a million times what's right for me to do
Try to lose these blues alone or hang around for you
Well I make it prеtty good until the moon comes shining through
Then I gеt so doggone lonesome

[Verse 3]
Time passes slowly when you're waiting
Sometimes I think my heart is stopping too
One lonely hour takes forever Sixty minutes more to wait for you

[Verse 4]
Well I guess I'll keep on loving you forever
Cause I believe that loving you is right
I don't care if the sun don't shine tomorrow
I can't have you by my side tonight

[Chorus 2]
Well I guess, I'll keep on loving you cause true love can't be killed
I probably should forget you but I guess I never will
Well I could've had those others but I know I need you still
Then I get so doggone lonesome

[Chorus 1]
Well I ask myself a million times what's right for me to do
Try to lose these blues alone or hang around for you
Well I make it pretty good until the moon comes shining through
Then I get so doggone lonesome
