Whistling That Old Lonesome Tune Lyrics - Jerry Leger

Points at her watch for me to see 

Says "I must be going, somewhere I need to be 

But don't worry, darling 

Someone will come soon" 

But I can't stop whistling that old lonesome tune 

People are laughing 

The sun always shines 

Tomorrow's a new day 

And pleasures are wide 

So, I can't explain it 

Thought happiness would bloom 

But I can't stop whistling that old lonesome tune 

Did you feel the sword, did you feel the push? 

Things would never be the same 

You knew they never could 

When it's dark in the world 

And I can't find a hand 

I turn to my lover no matter where we stand 

I went sailing through the pictures and dreams 

Heard whispers of new love 

By the singing golden streams 

I woke up in plain clothes 

In my own living room 

Where we once danced together 

To that old lonesome tune
