Why must I love a heartless one? Who'll never know the harm she's done Though love is blind, I should have known Just call me lonesome from now on I climb the stairs up to my room But, no one meets me in the gloom And the silence tells me, she is gone Just call me lonesome from now on These walls will hide me, when I cry And pray that heaven lets me die What good is life, when hope is gone? Just call me lonesome from now on I pray my memories at last Will fade into the distant past And if I must live and love alone Just call me lonesome from now on Just call me lonesome from now on
