The Lamp On The Corner
Composer(s): Ned Washington - Agustín Lara



Ask the lamp on the corner how lonely my life is without you
Ask the lamp on the corner how often I've spoken about you
With what's left of my heart in my hand
Like a troubadour lonely I stand 
And the light in your window keeps calling me in
Though I dare not obey its command
Ask the lamp on the corner if I haven't told (him/her) I love you
Just a miserable mourner who knows that he's not worthy of you
I forgot how we parted or why
Just a word or some little white lie
But life won't be worth livin' 'till we've been forgiven
The lamp on the corner and I
