Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Just like the ships that pass in the night
Leaving no trace at dawn
You seem to fade out of my sight
No one knows where you’ve gone
I’m not the same, somehow
There’s nothing to live for now
Chorus
Gone are the sunshine and roses
Gone are the joys I once knew
Gone is the bliss of your goodnight kiss
Gee, but I’m lonely and blue, I miss you
Gone are my beautiful love-dreams
They live in my memory
All day I keep sighing, I go to sleep crying
Since you’ve gone away from me
- Life was like a bed of roses to me
Sweetheart, when you were near
I can’t believe it had to be
I’m lost without you, dear
Downhearted, sad and blue
Oh, just what am I to do?
