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 changed, dear
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)
(As recorded by Patsy Cline, 8/24/61)
Have you ever been lonely
Have you ever been blue
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you
Can't you see that I'm sorry
For each mistake I made
Can't you see I've changed, dear
Can't you see that I've paid
Oh, be 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
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
