If you hear some footsteps walking close behind you in the night
And you look around and no one do you see
If you feel someone is watching you and there's no one in sight
Have no fear it's only lonely me
It's only lonely me I want you back again
So I send my memory to haunt you now and then
It follows you around wherever you may be
A ghost of love that's gone it's only lonely me
[ steel ]
If sometimes you have the feeling there is something you forgot
Though you try you can't remember what it was
It's my mem'ry only trying to remind you like as not
It was me that you forgot to love
It's only lonely me
