I was just lonesome I was just blue and I was too close to her and too far from you We shared a glass of wine and a dance or two And I held her close to me wishing she was you That's how things happen that's how things begin A heart gets too lonesome and looks for a friend I didn't mean to cheat or be untrue But I was too close to her and too far from you Day after day went by with no letter from you And you didn't telephone like you said that you would do And darling I felt so hurt when you let me down So lonely and tired of just hangin' around And that's how things happen... (Too far from you)
