Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I used to think I could live without you
But I admit that I changed my mind
I go to sleep and I dream about you
And thru’ the day you can always find me
Chorus
Blue because we’re parted
Blue and broken hearted
There was a time I was jolly
You know the reason I’m melancholy
Blue and oh! so lonely, true I want you only
We made a blunder, and lots of times I wonder
If you’re blue too
- When all the rest of the world is smiling
That’s when my tear drops begin to fall
I feel the need of your charms beguiling
And that’s the one reason why I’m always
