The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Every day seems like a year
Sweetheart, when you are not near
All that you claim must be true
For I’m just the same as you
Refrain
Sometimes I’m happy, sometimes I’m blue
My disposition depends on you
I never mind the rain from the sky
If I can find the sun in your eyes
Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you, it’s ’cause I love you
That’s how I am, so what can I do?
I’m happy when I’m with you
- Stars are smiling at me from your eyes
Sunbeams now there will be in the skies
Tell me that you will be true
That will all depend on you, dear
