I'm lonesome tonight while the moon shines so bright
Thinking of you little dear
I'm here all alone in my cabin at home
I'm countin' the stars in the blue
Love sick and sorrow is what you brought to me
Oh why tell me why did you go
You left me to wander in this old world all alone
I'm countin' the stars in the blue
I dream every night as I lay in my cabin
Prayin to the one up above
To keep you for me and someday will return you
I'm prayin to God up above
* Refrain
I'm taking your picture and framing in gold
Reading love letters from you
I'm longing to see you in our little cabin home
I'm counting the stars in the blue
* Refrain
