When Your Baby Ain't Around lyrics

I don't recall the icebox ever humming quite so loud That clock upon the wall sounding like a crowd My that dog is restless he don't ever settle down Now ain't it strange what occupies your mind when your baby ain't around When your baby ain't around I swear the moon and stars won't shine And nights get longer all the time I'm so lonesome missing you if you wanna know the truth I never thought I'd ever be this down That's all my body's got a mind to do now that my baby ain't around I don't recall this bedroom ever being quite so large Or this big old mattress ever sleeping quite so hard My the days come early when your sleep is less than sound Dreams don't seem to matter much at all when your baby ain't around When your baby ain't around... [ guitar ] When your baby ain't around... Well that's all my body's got a mind to do now that my baby ain't around Now that my baby ain't around now that my baby ain't around Now that my baby ain't around my baby baby ain't around Now that my baby ain't around
