Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- You said goodbye, I wonder why
And our romance was through
You didn’t care what sorrows I’d bear
‘Twas all in fun with you
Chorus
I don’t know why I should cry over you
Sigh over you, even be blue
I should have known that you’d leave me alone
And break my heart in two
Although you have left me alone to pine
And all of my love was a waste of time
Some day your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you?
- All of my dreams faded it seems
Just like the morning dew
And ev’ry plan that we both began
Has all been shattered, too
