| Why did my sweetie leave me?
|
| Why did we have to part?
|
| You know, no other sweetie can relieve me
|
| Of this aching heart
|
| Why can’t I have the sunshine?
|
| The sunshine instead of gloom?
|
| Why must I have these little shadows
|
| Creeping in my room?
|
| When the night is dark and peaceful
|
| Loving hearts are all in tune
|
| There’s two lonesome people in the whole wide world
|
| It’s me and the man and the moon
|
| When the little birds are nesting
|
| And I listen to them croon
|
| There are two lonesome people in the whole wide world
|
| It’s me and the man and the moon
|
| While I lie there counting sheep
|
| Through my window he comes to peep
|
| And with each other we’re sympathizing!
|
| Oh, I’m looking at those happy people
|
| While they sit around and spoon
|
| There’s two lonesome people in the whole wide world
|
| It’s me and the man and the moon
|
| Oh, but if my sweetie keeps me waiting
|
| You know what I’m gonna do? |
| I’ll get another sweetie, soon;
|
| Because there’s two lonesome people in the whole wide world
|
| It’s me and the man and the moon
|
| Oh, how I miss his ukulele
|
| And the way he strums those tunes
|
| 'Cause there’s two lonesome people in the whole wide world
|
| It’s me and the man and the moon
|
| When the creepy shadows fall
|
| And the boogie man comes to call
|
| I need two lovable arms around me!
|
| You know, and if my sweetie keeps me waiting
|
| You know what I’m gonna do? |
| I’m gonna get myself a big balloon, a big one
|
| And I’ll travel through the air in that big balloon and have a love affair
|
| With the man in the moon! |
