I hear a lonely bluebird somewhere in a tree
He must know how we feel he sings his sympathy
Life is so lonely for those who walk alone
With a heart that longs for love when love is gone
Lonely people they never smile
For to them it doesn't seem worthwhile
These lonely people are people just like me

It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart
But I don't know how to start forgetting you what can I do
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me just wait and see
But I will hurt till you come back to me
It's so easy to be smart...
(It only hurts for a while)
**********
If you go north or south if you go east or west
I'll follow you sweetheart and share your little love nest
I wanna go where you go do what you do
Love when you love then I'll be happy
(I wanna go where you go do what you do)
Love when you love then I'll be happy
(I wanna sigh when you sigh cry when you cry)
Smile when you smile then I'll be happy
If you go north or south if you go east or west ...
**********
We've had our stormy weather we've had our sunshine too
We've shared them both together and I'm still here with you
Sometimes I made you happy sometimes I made you blue
But love kept us together and I'm still here with you
No other arms no other lips no other love beside me
No other star up above to guide me
Someday you'll go to heaven as all good angels do
I'll find my way to heaven so I'll be there with you
(No other arms no other lips) no other love but you
**********
Though she loves to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her why should I go
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I got a woman crazy for me she's funny that way
Your love can't be replaced with just another pretty face
And heartaches will remain for they can't be erased
Many loves may come along but they won't live up to you
I'll be no good to anyone after loving you
**********
Light up your face with gladness hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying smile what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile
Smile though your heart is aching...
Light up your face with gladness...
**********
The minute you're gone I see how lonely a man I'd be
My life would be oh so blue if I couldn't be with you
The minute you're gone I pray the minute you're gone I say
Please don't be away too long the minute you're gone
The minute you're gone I see how lonely...
**********
They see me night and day time having such a gay time
They don't know what I go through
I'm laughing on the outside crying on the inside
Cause I'm still in love with you
No one knows it's just a pose pretending I'm glad we're apart
And when I cry my eyes are dry the tears are in my heart
My darling if you make up ever since I break up
Make believe is all I do
I'm laughing on the outside crying on the inside
Cause I'm still in love with you
No one knows it's just a pose...
My darling if you make up...
**********
When you said you were leaving tomorrow
That today was our last day
I said there'd be no sorrow
That I'd laugh when you walked away
But a little bitty tear let me down... [ ac.guitar ]
I said I'd laugh when you left me
Full of funny as you went out the door
That I'd have another one waiting
I'd wave goodbye as you go
But a little bitty tear let me down... [ ac.guitar ]
Everything went out like I planned it
And I really put on quite a show
In my heart I felt I could stand it
Till you walked with your grip through the door
But a little bitty tear let me down...
A little bitty tear let me down
A little bitty tear let me down
**********
And we'd go roamin' through the countryside walkin' in the clover
Making love and playing games to warm winds of summer
Roamin' through the countryside walkin' in the clover
Making love and playing games to warm winds of summer
We'd stop and pick the daffodills when we talked awhile
And when I asked her for a kiss she'd look at me and smiled
And we'd go roamin'...
When the sun was sinking low we'd leave the fields behind
To think about another day for it was summer time
And we'd go roamin'...
Those carefree days have come and gone and now she is my bride
And every Suday afternoon I take her by my side
