Stanley Brothers - Only Way To Say Goodbye, The lyrics

rate me

I'm so lonesome and alone since you left our happy home

Now all that's left are these tears upon my face

I've turned to drinkin' and prayin' that the lord would hear me sayin

take me away from this sad and lonely place

I've got no plans for tomorrow

I'm so ashamed and filled with sorrow

I should have told you that I loved you everyday

The only way to say goodbye is with these tears that fill my eyes

I hear you call me as they fall upon your grave

If I could only be set free from your haunting memory

But still I find that I'm a prisoner of your love

There's nothing left for me to do but in this pain of losin' you

So I am down upon the ground I've had enough

Not knowin where to turn from here

My heart still yearns for you my dear

I can't take this awful pain I'm goin through

I'll take this gun in tremblin hand and hope the lord will understand

There's just no way that I could stay here without you
