(as recorded by jim reeves11/20/61)



Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Have you ever loved someone

Just as I love you



Can't you see I'm sorry

For each mistake I've made

Can't you see I've changeddear

Can't you see I've paid



Be a little forgiving

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on living

Now that we're apart



If you knew what I've been thru

Then you'd know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue



(repeat last verse)

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Have you ever loved someone

Just as I love you



Can't you see that I'm sorry

For each mistake I made

Can't you see I've changeddear

Can't you see that I've paid



Ohbe a little forgivin'

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on livin'

Now that we're apart



If you knew what I been thru

You would know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue



Be a little forgivin'

Take me back in your heart

Now that we're apart



If you knew what I been thru

You would know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue
