Don't Keep Me Lonely Too Long

Skeeter Davis · Why So Lonely (RCA Victor) [1968]

(Melba Montgomery)



It sure gets lonely alone

No one to cry to alone

Time sure get slow since you're gone

Don't keep me lonely too long.



I need to hold you in my arms

And hear you say you need me

Don't let me live on dreams alone

Don't keep me lonely too long.



Mem'ries of faithful one so lonely

My tortured heart cries out

Because it loves and wants you only.



Yes, I'm too lonely alone

Afraid I can't stand alone

Without your love I can't go on

Don't keep me lonely too long...
