Lyrics

  1. Oh! darling I’ve grown tired of being alone
    Oh! darling I’m convinced that you must have known
    That’s why you’re here, I want you near
    I’m all to blame, dear, but just the same, dear

Chorus
Please, tell me that you miss me
Please just forget and kiss me
Ever since we drifted apart
My poor heart keeps aching and breaking
Please won’t you be forgiving
Please take my life worth living
Don’t leave me crying on my bended knee
Begging you to please me
Please

  1. Oh! darling something tells me that I’ve been wrong
    Oh! darling now I know just where I belong
    Close by your side, that’s why I’ve cried
    Days have been dreary without you dearie
