Willie Nelson - What'll I Do Lyrics






Gone is the romance that was so divine
It's broken and cannot be mended
You must go your way and I must go mine
But now that our love dreams have ended

What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?

What'll I do?
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do?

What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That can't come true
What'll I do?

What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That can't come true
What'll I do?

    HI Willie, I have wished I could have met you say how you have always been my favorite Country Music. I am now to aged 87 yrs and the years have now been happy , but.my old legs would not been able to make any long journeys but I am so grateful to YouTube that I enjoy listening to someone such a great talent as you. Thank you willie, Bless you.

  12. c.... w....

    Best version ever. Takes a good old boy to show the others how to do it.

  13. J.... P....

    Believe willie can sing any song

  14. T.... D....

    I love Willie Nelson's version of many American classics; September Song, Stardust and now "What'll I Do". I guess a great musician and honest singer can do any song and make it their own.

  15. L.... P....

    Beautiful , Willie is the best. Touching my heart. only good memories . Thanks Willie

  16. M.... K....

    Fantastic 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

    Stunning. Willie is up there with Sinatra & Ella.

  18. A.... G....

    What will I do Paul Finck? What will I do!

  19. L.... ....

    Goosebumps. Willie singing this classic.

  20. L.... R....

    Willie, Thank you so much fir recognizing this 1923 Berlin time featured in “The Great Gatsby”. You sing it as if someone who has been there. Magnificent!

  21. T.... S....

    This song makes me think of Janet Woodman and my Daddy Tommy Vaughn. I can't imagine how she feels every second of every day. Whether you know it or not, I have always understood what yall had. I love you and won't ever be able to tell you.

  22. D.... P....

    Beautiful,sad but real, so real,life is so tough,sometimes!!

  23. A.... G....

    Excellent....the song and the music! The guitarra is great! It was tender and sad!!💕

  25. A.... J....

    Love this take on an old classic.

  26. E.... N....

    This is just so beautiful. Touches the heart.

  27. h.... ....

    Wonder if the piano arrangement is written and published or if it's Bobbie's own. Wonderful. Would love to have that sheet music. Looks like the music on the piano is the classic Gershwin piano/vocal score.

  28. R.... W....

    Dorothy from Golden Girls would be proud. Fine rendition, very mellow, & totally Willie.

  29. j.... ....

    xcellent song willie

    Dit is echt ....

  36. D.... W....

    Our hero!

  37. T.... .....

    Has interesting echoes of Walter Pidgeon's 1924 recording. Very basic Irving Berlin expressing his own strong emotions.

  38. S.... W....

    Nothing against Willie, but I have a scab on my arm that has a better complexion.

  39. S.... J....

    He truly does touch your soul with his beautiful heart and his very special music . Since my husband’s death in 2012 his songs mean so much more to me. Thank you Willie🌺

  46. C.... D....

    Isn't it funny how he can make one note on a guitar sound so great, he likes what he does, that is what many others lack, professional or trying to be, what he does is what separates the two.

    C.... D....

    I LOVE the French Harp !!!

  47. v.... d....

  54. V.... M....

    We must all walk the path before us. Some part of that path you will have your companion, and your children. Then comes the time you will walk it alone. It is a long and lonely path but with God's beckoning out stretched hand, with his redeeming grace we will make it home to be with our beloved companion and family again.

  55. C.... A....

    you will do it all over again the way only you could ever truly do for in all your doing does it ever truly get done the way only you truly only I can do
