Merle Haggard - Why Should I Be Lonely lyrics
[Merle Haggard - Why Should I Be Lonely lyrics]
Oh, the moonlight so bright
Makes me lonely tonight
Everything seems to make me feel blue, dear
I'm downhearted now, I'm lonesome somehow
'Cause you are proving untrue
But why should I be so lonely?
Why should I be so sad?
Though another is taking from me
The best pal that I ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her
And leaving the clouds for me
But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
The violets so blue are calling for you
The roses so sweet make me lonely
They bring to my mind a sweet happy time
When your love was only for me
But why should I be so lonely?
Why should I be so sad?
Though another is taking from me
The best pal that I ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her
And leaving the clouds for me
But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
Makes me lonely tonight
Everything seems to make me feel blue, dear
I'm downhearted now, I'm lonesome somehow
'Cause you are proving untrue
But why should I be so lonely?
Why should I be so sad?
Though another is taking from me
The best pal that I ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her
And leaving the clouds for me
But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
The violets so blue are calling for you
The roses so sweet make me lonely
They bring to my mind a sweet happy time
When your love was only for me
But why should I be so lonely?
Why should I be so sad?
Though another is taking from me
The best pal that I ever had
She's taking the sunshine with her
And leaving the clouds for me
But why should I be so lonesome
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
