Lyrics:

Written by george brown and peter derose

(as recorded by jim reeves, 11/20/61)



Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Have you ever loved someone

Just as I love you



Cant you see Im sorry

For each mistake Ive made

Cant you see Ive changed, dear

Cant you see Ive paid



Be a little forgiving

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on living

Now that were apart



If you knew what Ive been thru

Then youd know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue



(repeat last verse)

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Have you ever loved someone

Just as I love you



Cant you see that Im sorry

For each mistake I made

Cant you see Ive changed, dear

Cant you see that Ive paid



Oh, be a little forgivin

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on livin

Now that were apart



If you knew what I been thru

You would know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue



Be a little forgivin

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on livin

Now that were apart



If you knew what I been thru

You would know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue
