In the 60's and 70's there was a heartthrob named Bobby Vinton whose ballads filled the Pop Charts and airwaves. This title was one of them.
Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own
I am so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone to call on the phone
Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
Letters, never a letter
I get no letters in the mail
I've been forgotten, yes, forgotten
Oh how I wonder, how is it I failed
Now I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier
Away from home through no wish of my own
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
I didn't want to get too close to this swan and make it change course since my lens was only 105 mm I needed to crop the shoreline away.
@kimdavis - Sorry Kim! This was one of those songs that became popular with many young men who were drafted and taken away from their girlfriends, Sadly, the relationships became strained during those times of separation!
I loved all those songs from that era! How perfect that you should have paired this handsome fellow with those words! Lovely picture, Skip! And like Kim, I'll have it lolling in my brain for the next several hours!
