Words & Music by C.E. "Hank" Snow
Travelling the lonely roads of sorrow,
heartaches are all I've ever known.
Time has turned a million pages,
fate has dealt and I'm alone.
CHORUS
But somewhere along life's highway
From your new love you may part,
And you will reap the pains, my darling,
that go with a broken heart.
The little stars all twinkled brighter,
the moon smiled gaily from the blue.
The flowers seemed to spread more beauty
oh, so glad 'cause I met you.
CHORUS
Though you've made my life a failure,
I have never been untrue.
And these lonely years have wasted,
all because my love for you.
CHORUS
You played your game to leave me darling,
Your game I did not understand.
So you dealt the cards against me
and I played the losing hand.
CHORUS
