SWEET MISERY
(Wayne P. Walker)


Jimmy Dean - 1967


Oh, when I'm lonely I think of someone
Someone I call Sweet Misery
In her arms I was in heaven 
But heaven wasn't meant for me

Oh, I still love her, oh, but I lost her 
When she walked out, the hurt walked in
Now our love's gone just like an old song 
That no one ever wants to hear again

I count heartaches that a big fool makes
And I think about my Sweet Misery
To my sorrow, each new tomorrow 
Proves there ain't never been a bigger fool than me

Oh, in her arms I, I was in heaven 
But heaven wasn't meant for me
Oh when I'm lonely, I think about someone 
Someone I call Sweet Misery
Yeah, someone I call Sweet Misery 
Yeah, someone I call Sweet Misery
Pretty baby that I call Sweet Misery
