Lyrics
- I was happy, Oh, so happy
Life seemed so dear, when you were near
We had a quarrel and parted
I left you broken hearted
Now I’m sorry, oh, how sorry
I wish that you were near
Chorus
The world is sad, I feel so bad away from you
I never smile, it’s not worth while away from you
I thought that I, could say “Goodbye” and then forget
With tear dimmed eyes I realize I love you yet
My dream is gone, I can’t go on, away from you
I miss you so, You’ll never know, what I’ve been through
I’d give all that I possess, for just that happiness
The kind I couldn’t find away from you
- I’m so lonely, Oh, so lonely
Thinking of you all the night through
I keep on hoping and yearning
Some day you’ll be returning
If you’re lonely just as lonely
Come back to me, please do
