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
