Don't Keep Me Lonely Too Long

(Melba Montgomery)



It sure gets lonely, alone

No one to cry to alone

Time sure goes slower 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 are bad for 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...
