There were arms that held me when each day was done
There were lips that kissed me when there was the sun
A whole lot of lonesome ago a whole lot of lonesome ago

And there was someone who gave me a reason to care
There were so many sweet things that I loved somewhere
A whole lot of lonesome ago a whole lot of lonesome ago

Oh what I'd give for one tender moment of the love that once was mine
Oh how I long for the love that I lived for once upon a time

[ steel ]
And there was someone beside me a hand holding mine
There were sweet dreams to guide me oh there was a time
A whole lot of lonesome ago a whole lot of lonesome ago ago
