Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Sorrow, sorrow, thru the everlasting day
Sorrow, sorrow, won’t you ever go away?
Life is such a lonely song
Everything is wrong, just wrong
Chorus
My heart belongs to the girl
Who belongs to somebody else
The lips I love keep on speaking
Of love to somebody else
Thru all the years I’ll go on shedding
Tears for nobody else
For my heart belongs to the girl
Who belongs to somebody else
- Teardrops, teardrops, ever in my lonely eyes
Sadness, madness, for a vanished paradise
Is there any hope for me?
Must I weep eternally?
