Lyrics

  1. Two words were spoken
    You said goodbye
    One heart was broken
    Left here to die
    I’ve kissed your picture
    Time after time
    Oh, how I miss you
    Old pal of mine

Chorus
I loved you, it just had to be
And I tried to be true blue
I lost you and I’ll take the blame
Tho’ I played the game true blue
My beautiful love dreams have ended
They all depended so much on you
Remember should there come a time
You’ll still find that I’m true blue

  1. Short hours of gladness
    Long days of pain
    Moments of sunshine
    Ages of rain
    Dreaming and waiting
    Lonely and blue
    These are my treasures
    Mem’ries of you
