Irving Berlin
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'm so unhappy What'll I do? I long for somebody who Will sympathize with me I'm growing so tired of living alone I lie awake all night and cry Nobody loves me That's why All by myself in the morning All by myself in the night I sit alone with a table and a chair So unhappy there Playing solitaire All by myself i get lonely Watching the clock on the shelf I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder I hate to grow older All by myself
