How Will I Explain About You

You left me, my darling, to travel alone
My heart is so lonely and blue
When friends ask about you why you're not around
How will I explain about you?

How will I explain about you?
They know I've been faithful and true
So when they start asking why you're not around
How will I explain about you?

They saw us together for such a long time
They knew that I loved you so true
But now that you're gone, and I'm left all alone
How will I explain about you?

How will I explain about you?
I can't let them know that we're through
They wouldn't believe it could ever be true
How will I explain about you?

If ever you're lonely and wish to return
Remember I'm waiting for you
But if I must travel life's pathway alone
How will I explain about you?

How will I explain about you?
I'm leaving it all up to you
But if you insist that our pathway must part
How will I explain about you?
