(stan munsey jr./bob alan)



I don't recall the icebox ever humming quite so loud

That clock upon the wall, sounding like a crowd

My that dog is restless

He don't ever settle down

Now ain't it strange what occupies your mind

When your baby ain't around



When your baby ain't around

I swear the moon and stars won't shine

And nights get longer all the time

I'm so lonesome missing you

If you wanna know the truth

I never thought i'd ever be this down

That's all my body's got a mind to do

Now that my baby ain't around



I don't recall this bedroom ever being quite so large

Or this big old mattress ever sleeping quite so hard

My the days come early

When your sleep is less than sound

Dreams don't seem to matter much at all

When your baby ain't around



When your baby ain't around

I swear the moon and stars won't shine

And nights get longer all the time

I'm so lonesome missing you

If you wanna know the truth

I never thought i'd ever be this down

That's all my body's got a mind to do

Now that my baby ain't around



When your baby ain't around

I swear the moon and stars won't shine

And nights get longer all the time

I'm so lonesome missing you

If you wanna know the truth

I never thought i'd ever be this down

That's all my body's got a mind to do

Now that my baby ain't around



Well, that's all my body's got a mind to do

Now that my baby ain't around



Now that my baby ain't around

Now that my baby ain't around

Now that my baby ain't around

My baby baby ain't around

Now that my baby ain't around
