I`ll be good while you`re gone
I`ll be lonesome while you`re gone
I`ll be good and lonesome
While you`re gone

Sure as stars are in the sky
From the day we said goodbye
I`ll be mighty lonesome
While you`re gone

Every night, I`ll pound the pillow
Feeling weepy as a willow
When my room cold and still, oh
How I yearn for your return
 

But I`ll be good while you`re gone
I`ll be lonesome while you`re gone
I`ll be good and lonesome and blue

So before you go away
Won`t you let me hear you say
You`ll be good and lonesome too

I`ll be good while you`re gone
(I`ll be, oh, so good)
I`ll be lonesome while you`re gone
(I`ll be lonesome too)
I`ll be good and lonesome
While you`re gone

Sure as stars are in the sky
(Stars are in the sky)
From the day we said goodbye
(When we said goodbye)
I`ll be mighty lonesome
When you`re gone

Every night, I`ll pound the pillow
Feeling weepy as a willow
When my room is cold and still, oh
How I yearn for your return

But I`ll be good while you`re gone
(I`ll be, oh, so good)
I`ll be lonesome while you`re gone
(I`ll be lonesome too)
I`ll be good and lonesome and blue

So before you go away
(When you go away)
Won`t you let me hear you say
(Let me hear you say)
You`ll be good and lonesome
I do mean lonesome
Good and lonesome too
