It seems like a year

since I've seen you dear

yet I know it's been only a day

yet the hours seem long

and the world goes wrong

for it's empty with you away . . .



And I wake from each dream

of your loveliness,

to sink once again into loneliness,

and I'd give all the world for just one caress,

I'm lonesome, I guess, that's all!



The faces I see don't appear to me

for it's your face I long for today,

with it's wonderful smile

that makes life worthwhile,

for it drives all my cares away . . .



And I dream of your lips

and your eyes of blue,

and wonder if your heart is dreaming too?

And my own heart is cryin' the whole day through

I'm lonesome, for you, that's all!
