Lyrics:

(Melba Montgomery)

It sure gets lonely, alone
No one to cry to alone
Time sure goes slower since you're gone
Don't keep me lonely too long.

I need to hold you in my arms
And hear you say you need me
Don't let me live on dreams alone
Don't keep me lonely too long.

Mem'ries are bad for one so lonely
My tortured heart cries out
Because it loves and wants you only
Yes, I'm too lonely alone.

Afraid I can't stand alone
Without your love I can't go on
Don't keep me lonely too long...
