(Stan Munsey Jr./Bob Alan)**lf****lf**I don''t recall the icebox ever humming quite so loud**lf**That clock upon the wall, sounding like a crowd**lf**My that dog is restless**lf**He don''t ever settle down**lf**Now ain''t it strange what occupies your mind**lf**When your baby ain''t around**lf****lf**When your baby ain''t around**lf**I swear the moon and stars won''t shine**lf**And nights get longer all the time**lf**I''m so lonesome missing you**lf**If you wanna know the truth**lf**I never thought I''d ever be this down**lf**That''s all my body''s got a mind to do**lf**Now that my baby ain''t around**lf****lf**I don''t recall this bedroom ever being quite so large**lf**Or this big old mattress ever sleeping quite so hard**lf**My the days come early**lf**When your sleep is less than sound**lf**Dreams don''t seem to matter much at all**lf**When your baby ain''t around**lf****lf**When your baby ain''t around**lf**I swear the moon and stars won''t shine**lf**And nights get longer all the time**lf**I''m so lonesome missing you**lf**If you wanna know the truth**lf**I never thought I''d ever be this down**lf**That''s all my body''s got a mind to do**lf**Now that my baby ain''t around**lf****lf**When your baby ain''t around**lf**I swear the moon and stars won''t shine**lf**And nights get longer all the time**lf**I''m so lonesome missing you**lf**If you wanna know the truth**lf**I never thought I''d ever be this down**lf**That''s all my body''s got a mind to do**lf**Now that my baby ain''t around**lf****lf**Well, that''s all my body''s got a mind to do**lf**Now that my baby ain''t around**lf****lf**Now that my baby ain''t around**lf**Now that my baby ain''t around**lf**Now that my baby ain''t around**lf**My baby baby ain''t around**lf**Now that my baby ain''t around
