As I fumble from my bed <br />The words still ringing in my head <br />From the words that you had said <br />From yesterday <br /> <br />I find my shoes, I put them on <br />I watch the news, but not for long <br />Then I step outside <br />To face the day <br /> <br />I never knew how lonesome <br />To have to face a day could be <br />I never knew so lonely <br />I never knew would be of me <br /> <br />Then I walk out and I check the mail <br />For something to do I thought to my self <br />And the words you said yesterday <br />They ring on <br /> <br />I’ll wake up and you’ll be gone <br />Then I’ll know the meaning of all alone <br />But I guess you already knew <br />You were right all along <br /> <br />And if I could right now <br />I’d change the way things are somehow <br />But it’s to late <br />The words that we say <br /> <br />So alone <br />I walk today <br />I guess somehow <br />I’ll have to face the day <br /> <br />I never knew how lonesome <br />To have to face a day could be <br />I never knew so lonely <br />I never knew would be of me. <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 Bill Simmons <br />AKA BillWilliamStar <br />BillWilliamStar@aol.com<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-never-knew-how-lonesome-song/
