Lover

The sky was blue
And so high up above
The moon was newer
And so was my love
And this achin' old heart
Of a man was a-singin'
Now, you can hear it sing
It's callin' out, it's callin' "Lover"
It's callin' now "Lover, won't you come home
Won't you come on back to me"
You came at last
Love had its day
That day has passed
But you, you know you've gone away
And this achin' heart
Of a man was a-singin'
And you can really hear it singin'
It's callin' out "Lover"
It's callin' now "Lover, won't you come home
Won't you come on back to me"
I remember every little old thing
You always used to do
But you know somethin' now
I'm, I'm so, I keep on feelin' so lonely
You know I'm feelin' lonely
Now it's every little walk
I walked, you know I even walked along
I even walked along with you
I said no wonder now, child
You know no wonder why I'm so very lonely
I keep on bein' lonely
Ooh, I said that sky was so blue
And that night was so cold
That moon was so very new
But my love, my love was so very, very old
And this achin' old heart
Of a man was really singin'
Now you can really hear it singin'
It's callin' out, it's callin', it's callin' "Lover"
You can hear it singin'
"Lover, won't you come home
Won't you come on back to me"
Oh yeah, now I'm gonna tell you what that singin' is about, listen
I remember every little old thing
You always used to do
But you know somethin'
I'm so, I keep on feelin' so lonely
You know I'm feelin' lonely
Now it's every little walk
I walked, you know I even walked along
I walked along with you
I said no wonder now, child
You know no wonder why I'm so very, very lonely
I keep on bein' lonely
Ooh, I said that sky was so blue
And that night was so cold
You see that moon out there?
That moon was so very new
But I gotta tell ya
My love, my love was so very, very old
And this achin' heart
Of a man was really singin'
Now you can really hear it singin' loud
It's callin' out, it's callin' out "Lover"
Hey, you can hear it callin'
"Lover, won't you come home
Won't you come on back to me"
It's callin' out there, it's callin' "Lover"
You can hear it callin'
"Lover, won't you come home
Won't you come on back to me"
Oh, I can't sing no more, but you know what I mean
