(As recorded by Jim Reeves, 11/20/61)



Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Have you ever loved someone

Just as I love you



Can't you see I'm sorry

For each mistake I've made

Can't you see I've changed, dear

Can't you see I've paid



Be a little forgiving

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on living

Now that we're apart



If you knew what I've been thru

Then you'd know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue



(Repeat last verse)





(As recorded by Patsy Cline, 8/24/61)



Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Have you ever loved someone

Just as I love you



Can't you see that I'm sorry

For each mistake I made

Can't you see I've changed, dear

Can't you see that I've paid



Oh, be a little forgivin'

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on livin'

Now that we're apart



If you knew what I been thru

You would know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue



Be a little forgivin'

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on livin'

Now that we're apart



If you knew what I been thru

You would know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue
