Why must I love the heartless one Who'll never know the harm she's done Though love is blind I should have known Just call me lonesome from now on I climb the stairs up to my room But no one meets me in my gloom The silence tells me she is gone Just call me lonesome from now on [ violin ] These walls will hide me when I cry And hope that heaven lets me die What good is life when hope is gone Just call me lonesome from now on
