Moanin'

Moanin' my life slowly away

Sittin' here waitin' for the new commin' day

They try to cheer me as I trudge on my way

Moanin' for you

Can't seem to hide it and why should I try

Good Lord, he knows it up there in the sky

A million heartaches with your last goodbye

Left me moanin' for you

Work these poor fingers way down to the bone

When things seemed right my whole world went wrong

Then I found your letter, baby, sayin' so long

I've been moanin' for you

They find me alone at the close of the day

Countin' each petal from your rose bouquet

Guess I'll be here till eternity

Moanin' for you

This ole rockin' chair, I have rocked it apart

The last spark of flame in my fireplace is dark

But this old flame that's burnin' deep down in my heart

Keeps me moanin' for you

Work these poor fingers way down to the bone

When things seemed right my whole world went wrong

Then I found your letter, baby, sayin' so long

I've been moanin' for you
