Just Call Me Lonesome Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Why must I love the heartless one 

Who'll never know the harm he's done? 

Though love is blind I should have known 

Just call me lonesome from now on 

I climb the stairs up to my room 

But no one meets me in the gloom 

The silence tells me he is gone 

Just call me lonesome from now on 

These walls will hide me when I cry 

And hope that heaven lets me die 

What good is life when hope is gone? 

Just call me lonesome from now on 

I pray my memories at last 

Will fade into the distant past 

If I must live and love alone 

Just call me lonesome from now on
