“Sometimes I Do”
Sometimes I cry when I’m lonely,
Sometimes I cry when I’m blue,
Right now I’m cryin’ ’cause I love you,
I’m cryin’ and wonderin’ what to do.
Sometimes I’m happy when I’m dreamin’,
Dreams that I have about you,
But sometimes I wake and start a-thinkin’,
Just what in this world I will do.
Sometimes I cry for the future,
And sometimes I cry for the past,
But most of my cries are for the love
That I knew would never last.
Sometimes I cry when the twilight
Brings mem’ries and dreams all anew,
Yes, sometimes I cry when I’m lonely,
But this time I’m cryin’ for you.
