Well, it's so very hard
To have to leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
It's so lonely just sitting there
And dreaming of
That girl a thousand miles away

Yes, it's still lonely having just her picture here with me
And I know I just can't stand it anymore
I'm gonna leave right now
And go back where I oughta be
Goin' home to the girl that I adore

Well it's so very hard
To have to leave the one you love
And you get more lonely
With each passing day
It's so lonely just sitting there
And thinking of
That girl a thousand miles away

Well, every time I hear her sweet voice on the telephone
Then I know I just can't stand it another day
I'm gonna call right back
And tell her that I'm coming home
Call her back and say I'm comin' home to stay
Call her back and say I'm comin' home to stay
