That's What It's Like To Be Lonesome
Bill Anderson
The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone
You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong
You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn
Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown
And that's what it's like to be lonesome with a heart a broken love has taught to cry
Yes that's what it's like to be lonesome I know cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy
I know cause I'm a mighty lonesome guy

(I've tried so hard to learn to live without you but who's to teach me
It pleased me to touch you it lightened me to love you
It pained me to lose you and it hurts me to hope for your return
But perhaps someday somewhere my love)
