I'm Lonely Without You

Lyric: Bud Green

Year: 1926
Original publisher: Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc.

Verse 1:

How can you blame me for sighing,
Just sighing for you?
How can you blame me for crying
The long hours through?
How can you blame me for grieving,
What else can I do?

Chorus:

I'm lonely without you,
Without you I'm blue.
Without you, there's no one
To tell troubles to.
I need you, I want you,
And nothing seems right;
I'm lonely, so lonely,
Without you tonight.

Verse 2:

Why must the hours be so weary,
So weary all day?
Why must the heavens be dreary,
So dreary and gray?
Why can't I have you, my dearie,
Why go on this way?

[Chorus]
