That's What It's Like To Be Lonesome Lyrics - Connie Smith

The streets are dark and empty and you walk them all alone 

You think about your love affair and wonder what went wrong 

You go to bed each night and pray you'll never see the dawn 

Afraid of each tomorrow with its heartless cold unknown 

And that's what it's like to be lonesome without your love it's such an empty world 

And that's what it's like to be lonesome I know cause I'm a mighty lonesome girl 

[ steel ] 

You search to find a tavern where the music's playing loud 

You try to lose your heartache in the laughter of the crowd 

But the happy couples make you think of things that might have been 

And you have to fight the teardrops till you're by yourself again 

And that's what it's like...
