Lyrics
- Please don’t smile when I sigh
Please don’t laugh when I cry
I’m just a fool who remembers
Someone who bid me goodbye
Chorus
I am just a lonesome lover
Only trying to discover
Someone who’ll be sweet and gentle
To a heart that is so sentimental
Oh, let me hold your hand for only
Just a moment while I’m lonely
In this world there is no other
Lonesome lover like me
- All my dreams are in vain
Love has brought me but pain
If you will try to console me
I’ll never bore you again
