Dear heart, wish you were here to warm this night My dear heart, it seems like a year since you've been out of my sight A single room, a table for one It's a lonesome town all right But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door And dear heart, I want you to know I'll leave your arms never more (A single room, a table for one) (It's a lonesome town all right) But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door And dear heart, I want you to know I'll leave your arms never more
