Six Lonely Hours Lyrics - Kitty Wells

When the clock strikes one I stare at the door 

By the time it reaches two I'm walking the floor 

When the hands, oh, so gently drop down on the three 

I'm alone in a world where love used to be 

There are six lonely hours before dawn 

And each one is a lifetime since you are gone 

I can't face up the living with the sun in the sky 

But for six lonely hours I die 

When the chimes ring out a lonesome old choir 

Sweet mem'ries rush in till I can't stand much more 

At five all the heartaches I've ever known 

Are there right with me that last hour alone 

There are six lonely hours [unverified]
