I Was a Little too Lonely (and You Were a Little too Late)

Words and Music by Jay Livingston and Raymond Evans

Performed by Nat King Cole

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 now you're a little too late You never would write, you never would call While I had the blues you were having a ball You thought that I'd be here to run to Now I'm gonna do to you what I was done to Too bad about you, my friend It could've been great But I was a little too lonely And you were a little too late.
