I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Helen Merrill

Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill He sounds too blue to fly That midnight train rides alone I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a night so long When time goes crawling by The moon just went behind the cloud I'm so lonesome I could cry Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? It means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of the falling stars Lights up a purple sky And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry

I hear that lonesome whippoorwill Sounds too blue to fly That midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry I've never seen a night so long When time goes crawling by The moon just went behind the clouds To hide his face and cry, alright Did you ever see a robin weep When leaves begin to die? That means he's lost the will to live He's so lonesome he could cry The silence of a falling star (falling star) Lights up a purple sky (ooh-ooh) And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-wa Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-wa I wonder where you are tonight I'm so lonesome I could cry Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-wa Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa-wa-wa I wonder where you are tonight I'm so lonesome I could cry I wonder where you are tonight I'm so lonesome I could cry I wonder where you are tonight I'm so lonesome I could cry, wa-wa
