—Bill Monroe
I'm all alone tonight dear
And I'm so broken hearted
With head bowed low I sit and cry
That night so sad and lonely
I lost my one and only
Why did you ever say goodbye
Chorus:
Though you have done me wrong
But memory still lingers on
Inside this trusting heart of mine
I'll never love again
Since you said this is the end
Oh why did you ever say goodbye
I gave you all my love
You promised you'd be true
And I believed you at the time
It broke my heart my darlin'
To hear you say we've parted
Sweetheart why did you change your mind
Some day you'll be so blue
You'll think of the one who loves you
Tears will fall from your blue eyes
No one will be around
To catch them as they fall down
Oh why did you ever say goodbye
