Don’t Stay Away Too Long
Ernest Tubb
Don’t stay too long cause i’m too lonesome
Don’t stay too long cause i’m too blue
When you’re away i’m so downhearted
Don’t stay too long cause i love you
When you are here i’m so contented
Each minute is a joy for me
But when you go my heart starts crying
My darling want you heed my plea
Your letters come but still i’m lonely
Cause letters can’t erase my tears
In dreams i have my arms around you
The days and nights now seem like years
I’ll walk the floor and think about you
I just can’t find a thing to do
But when you’re near my life’s a pleasure
I can’t get by if i can’t have you
