I Was Lonely



[Verse]
 * Sweetheart
 * I seem to feel a wond'rous spell
 * Sweetheart
 * what it may be I cannot tell


 * What is this now O'er me stealing
 * Your first kiss has brought a yearning burning feeling
 * that taunts me
 * yes really: It haunts me


 * My dear
 * My heart is captured by your smile
 * My dear
 * at last I feel that life's worth while,


 * In my arm
 * Let me enfold you
 * In my arms
 * close to my heart I want to hold you

[Burthen]
 * I was lonely
 * So lonely
 * I was downcast and blue


 * It was only
 * It was only
 * 'cause I'd not met you


 * Now my sadness
 * is gladness
 * I have heard love's sweet call.


 * You're my mate, dear,
 * It is fate, dear,
 * That's all.
