Have You Ever Been Lonely (have You Ever Been

Written by George Brown and Peter DeRose

(As recorded by Jim Reeves, 11/20/61)

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Have you ever loved someone

Just as I love you

Can't you see I'm sorry

For each mistake I've made

Can't you see I've changed, dear

Can't you see I've paid

Be a little forgiving

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on living

Now that we're apart

If you knew what I've been thru

Then you'd know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

(Repeat last verse)

(As recorded by Patsy Cline, 8/24/61)

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Have you ever loved someone

Just as I love you

Can't you see that I'm sorry

For each mistake I made

Can't you see I've changed, dear

Can't you see that I've paid

Oh, be a little forgivin'

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on livin'

Now that we're apart

If you knew what I been thru

You would know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue

Be a little forgivin'

Take me back in your heart

How can I go on livin'

Now that we're apart

If you knew what I been thru

You would know why I ask you

Have you ever been lonely

Have you ever been blue
