i was a little too lonely and you were a little too late

Nat King Cole

(Jay Livingston, Raymond Evans)

You promised me you d come back,
I promised to wait.
But I was a little too lonely,
And you were a little too late.

Too many long nights alone,
Not even a date.
So I got a little too lonely,
And you were a little too late.

You never did write, you never did call.
When I had the blues, you were havin a ball.
You thought that I d be here to run to,
Now I m gonna do to you what I ve been done to.

Too bad about you, my friend,
It could ve been great.
But I was a little too lonely,
And now you re a little too late.
