There's a lonely little robin in a tree by my door And it waits for its mate to return evermore So remember please remember that I'm lonely too Like a lonely little robin I'm waiting for you When you went away dear you promised that you'd write And I thought that you would be true But I find the mailbox as empty day and night As empty as the arms that held you There's a lonely little robin in a tree by my door And it waits for its mate to return evermore So remember please remember that I'm lonely too Like a lonely little robin I'm waiting for you I walked to the lane down the lane we used to walk Where we strolled together for years And my cheeks are red and it's hard for me to tell If raindrops are falling my dear There's a lonely little robin in a tree by my door And it waits for its mate to return evermore So remember please remember that I'm lonely too Like a lonely little robin I'm waiting for you Like a lonely little robin I'm waiting for you
