Lyrics Jean Shepard

Jean Shepard

Just Call Me Lonesome

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
