Tears By My Bed

(Ralph Burns Kellogg)
Lonely, lonely tears by my bed
You know I never call you
You call me instead
Sadness, sadness please go away
Every time you call me
The longer you stay.

I was never lonely with her by my side
Things are much different now
All I have left is my pride.

With her I thought for sure you were gone for good
But now I understand, I had just misunderstood.

Lonely, lonely, I wish she'd be back
But now I know she had to go
And I know she can't come back
Someday, some other day, I'll find somebody new
Someone who'll love me and be the death of you.
