Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
This old storm brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
While this yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
This troubled heart is blue to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonesome all the time.

Now take all those precious dreams I had for you and me
Take all the love that I thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream i know that it's real
That's why I'm lonesome all the time.

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
While this yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
This troubled heart is blue to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonesome all the time.

Yes, that's why I'm lonesome all the time.
Yes, that's why I'm lonesome all the time.
