To Be Lonely
Country Comfort Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a lot of things to come tomorrow
Its been so hard for me to get along
And I don′t, I don't understand
She′s gone and left with another man
Ah oh can't you see
What she's done to me

She′s gone and left me alone
And now my dreams are sad songs
So sleep again, and I try to make this bad dream end

Near the park where the children play
He lived In a home where the flowers bloom all day
And I don′t .see the sun no more
Children laughing all behind the wall
And oh can you feel
If the dreams for real

She's gone and left me alone
And now my dreams are sad songs
So sleep again. and I try to make this bad dream end

I woke up cryin′ in the morning
Her letter said there's no sense in calling
Oh but how, how could I feel
I found my dreams real
And oh can you hear
Singing loud and clear





She′s gone and left me alone (There go her footsteps out the door)
And now my dreams are sad songs (She's gone and left an envelope)
