I can get up and face the day Just fine all by myself Go out and take on the world And get it done like nobody else Ohh but I don't do lonely well Baby since since you've been been gone I leave the TV on Gotta hear somebody's voice I just need some kind of noise

(drown in my own tears) If you don't think you'll be home soon I guess I'll drown in my own tears It brings a tear into my eyes When I begin to realize I've cried so much Since Since you've been been gone I guess I'm drowning in my own tears I sit and cry just like

Alberta, Alberta, Where you been been so long? Ain't had no loving Since Since you've been been gone. Where'd you stay last night? Girl, you're on my mind. Alberta, Alberta Come home this morning, Clothes don't fit you right

don't know how don't know how, not to Love you I don't know how But I don't know how You said that time would ease the pain But I still hear your voice whisper my name Since Since you've been been gone my world stands still You said I'd forget, but I never will

I guess I'll drown in my own tears If you don't think You'll be home soon It brings a tear Into my eyes When I begin I've cried so much Since Since you've been been gone

Someday baby, I ain't gonna worry my life no more Oh Lord, Lordy Lord, it hurts me so bad for us to part You're on my mind every place I go How much I love you, baby you'll never know So many mornings since since you've been been gone I'm on my knees prayin' to you

But I blew it without even tryin' Since Since you've been been gone it's hard to carry on I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been been a very long time You wear it

In the silence of my mind I can see our love was just a line To a grasp of air That's nowhere And while I wait for love's embrace My life is but a race Since Since you're gone gone now All my light is left to waste I never learned the rule

I guess I'll drown in my own tears If you don't think You'll be home soon It brings a tear Into my eyes When I begin I've cried so much Since Since you've been been gone

Oh, me, oh, my Dreams in my arms Is all I have to hold Since Since you've been been gone Ever since since you been been gone I had a dream Thinking that you were gone gone Leaving me on my own And you, you was there
