Lyrics

  1. A song bird yearns to sing a love song
    The roses yearns just for the dew
    The whole world’s yearning for the sunshine
    I have a yearning, too

Chorus
Yearning just for you
That’s all I do my dear
Learning why I’m blue
I wish that you were near
Smiles have turned to tears
Days have turned to years
Yearning just for you
I hope you’re yearning, too

  1. When shadows fall and stars are beaming
    ‘Tis then I miss you most of all
    I go to sleep and start in dreaming
    It seems I hear you call
