[Verse 1]
By the open fireplace in my favorite dungarees
Played a few bars of a melody and it sounded sweet to me
Thought i get up and take a look around but my feet got in my way
Stumbled to the floor, she was right at the door, i could even see her face

But how could it be (how could it be
She ran away from me
My best friends gone and i'm so all alone

[Chorus 1]
I kind-a miss you, brandy, i'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
I really miss you, brandy, missing you every day
Are you coming home to stay?

[Verse 2]
Sitting on a lonely beach building houses out of sand
Like a little child with a fantasy, just a fraction of a man
I was in love when they put her down on my doorstep in the rain
I could feel the love coming into my heart through my window pane

But how could i know (how could i know
That she would up and go
My best friends gone and i'm so all alone. (alone

[Chorus 1]

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
