I've Always Been Lonely

by Will Jennings Joe Sample recording of 1979 from Take It Home (MCA 11770) I don't have to know your name Unless you really want me too All I really want to know Is what you want to do Hope there's something you like In something that you see I don't have that much to say for me I've always been lonely But don't be afraid I've always been lonely Like a song never played I've always been lonely But if you come with me tonight And stayed At least we'd know It wasn't loneliness we made You don't have to know my past It's much too much for me and you If the sadness has to show I guess I'll let it through We can go till it's gone And give it all we've got Sometimes anything can mean a lot

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
