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
