Lonely Little Soul 1931 JPitt-Payne

You went away in September
remember all you said to me,
Now it is nearly December
and still I'm waiting patiently.
Waiting each day
for a line or two
maybe a letter
but not from you.

Nobody knows, nobody cares
and who wants to climb
rickety stairs?
I'm just forgotten
a lonely little soul,
what can I do?
Where can I go?
I'm longing for you
loving you so,
Yes, I'm forgotten
a lonely little soul.
If you would understand
I'd still command your heart
like I used to do,
but you don't care
if I'm not there
or if I'm alone and blue.
Yet there's a prayer
each night for two,
an old empty chair
waiting for you
though I'm forgotten
a lonely little soul.

Nobody knows, nobody cares
and who wants to climb
rickety stairs?
I'm just forgotten
a lonely little soul,
what can I do?
Where can I go?
I'm longing for you
loving you so,
Yes, I'm forgotten
a lonely little soul.
If you would understand
I'd still command your heart
like I used to do,
but you don't care
if I'm not there
or if I'm alone and blue.
Yet there's a prayer
each night for two,
an old empty chair
waiting for you
though I'm forgotten
a lonely little soul.

Spending my days meditating
and all my nights are sleepless too,
seems it is no use me waiting
although you know I long for you.
Why in my life
did you play a part,
why did you leave me
a broken heart?

Nobody knows, nobody cares
and who wants to climb
rickety stairs?
I'm just forgotten
a lonely little soul,
what can I do?
Where can I go?
I'm longing for you
loving you so,
Yes, I'm forgotten
a lonely little soul.
If you would understand
I'd still command your heart
like I used to do,
but you don't care
if I'm not there
or if I'm alone and blue.
Yet there's a prayer
each night for two,
an old empty chair
waiting for you
though I'm forgotten
a lonely little soul.

Nobody knows, nobody cares
and who wants to climb
rickety stairs?
I'm just forgotten
a lonely little soul,
what can I do?
Where can I go?
I'm longing for you
loving you so,
Yes, I'm forgotten
a lonely little soul.
If you would understand
I'd still command your heart
like I used to do,
but you don't care
if I'm not there
or if I'm alone and blue.
Yet there's a prayer
each night for two,
an old empty chair
waiting for you
though I'm forgotten
a lonely little soul.
