How Can I Be Happy

How can I be happy
The one I love is gone
How can I be happy
The one I love is gone
She went away and left me.
Somebody help me
I just can't go on
Don't know why she left me
All I know she's gone
Don't know why she left me
All I know she's gone
Just like the old time sayin'
I'll keep on prayin'
Maybe she'll come back home
I need someone to walk with me
I need someone to talk with me
I need someone to walk with me
I need someone to talk with me
Yes I am pleadin' because I'm needin'
Someone to share their love with me
I need someone to walk with me
I need someone to talk with me
I need someone to walk with me
I need someone to talk with me
Yes I am pleadin' because I'm needin'
Someone to share their love with me
