Why Should I Be Lonely – Aaron Neville (originally by Jimmie Rodgers)

Oh the moonlight’s so bright makes me lonely tonight Everything seems to make me feel blue, dear I am downhearted now, I am lonesome somehow ‘Cause you’re proving you’re untrue to me
Why should I be so lonely? Why should I be so sad? Though another is taking her away from me The best pal that I ever had She’s taking the sunshine with her Leaving the clouds for me But why should I be so lonesome When there’s nobody’s lonesome for me?
Oh the violets so blue are calling for you The roses so sweet make me lonely They bring to my mind the sweet happy time When your love was only for me
Why should I be so lonely? Why should I be so sad? Though another is taking her away from me The best pal that I ever had She’s taking the sunshine with her Leaving the clouds for me But why should I be so lonesome When there’s nobody lonesome for me?
