[Verse 1] Oh the moonlight so bright makes me lonely tonight Everything seems to make me feel blue dear I’m downhearted now I’m lonesome somehow ’Cause you are proving untrue   [Chorus] But why should I be so lonely? Why should I be so sad? Though another is taking from me   The best pal that I ever had   She’s taking the sunshine with her And leaving the clouds for me    But why should I be so lonesome When there’s nobody lonesome for me? dim7 [Verse 2] The violets so blue are calling for you The roses so sweet make me lonely They bring to my mind a sweet happy time When your love was only for me     [Chorus] But why should I be so lonely? Why should I be so sad? Though another is taking from me   The best pal that I ever had   She’s taking the sunshine with her And leaving the clouds for me    But why should I be so lonesome When there’s nobody lonesome for me?
