I never knew I would miss you
Until you went away
Now I can see what you were to me
My heart just seems to say
I know what it means to be lonesome
I know how it feels to be blue
I know what it means to long in my dreams
For someone, for someone
I've sighed and I've cried since we parted
There's no one knows what I've gone through
I'd give all that I own just to have you back home
I'm lonesome, lonesome for you
Hope seems to say there'll come a day
Your smiles again I'll see
My love is true and you know it too
Come back, come back to me
I know what it means to be lonesome
I know how it feels to be blue
I know what it means to long in my dreams
For someone, for someone
I've sighed and I've cried since we parted
There's no one knows what I've gone through
I'd give all that I own just to have you back home
I'm lonesome, lonesome for you
