Travelling the lonely roads of sorrow,

heartaches are all I've ever known.

Time has turned a million pages,

fate has dealt and I'm alone.

Chorus:

But somewhere along life's highway

From your new love you may part,

And you will reap the pains, my darling,

that go with a broken heart.

The little stars all twinkled brighter,

the moon smiled gaily from the blue.

The flowers seemed to spread more beauty

oh, so glad 'cause I met you.

Chorus

Though you've made my life a failure,

I have never been untrue.

And these lonely years have wasted,

all because my love for you.

Chorus

You played your game to leave me darling,

Your game I did not understand.

So you dealt the cards against me

and I played the losing hand.

Chorus
