3/4 Time
Intro
Chorus
Yes, I Know Just What It Means To Be So Lonely
And I Know Just How It Feels To Be So Blue
And I'd Give This Whole Wide World, Sweetheart, If Only
You And I Could Start This Life Anew
Verse
When Twilight Shadows Start To Creep Around Me
And The Sun No Longer Shines Up In The Sky
It Is Then When That Old Pain Begins To Hound Me
It's Then That I Just Sit Alone And Cry
Now, It's Been Many Years, Dear, Since We Parted
I Left You Though It Really Hurt Me So
And Now, I Sit Alone, Dear, Broken-Hearted
How It Grieves Me, Dear, You'll Never Know
It Was Just A Year Ago, Sweetheart, You Wrote Me
And Told Me That You'd Always Love Me True
But Fate Has Had A Hand And It's Too Late, Dear
So Just Pretend I Never Cared For You
Chorus
Yes, I Know Just What It Means To Be So Lonely
And I Know Just How It Feels To Be So Blue
And I'd Give This Whole Wide World, Sweetheart, If Only
You And I Could Start This Life Anew
