-----------------------------------------------------------
The sky was blue, and high
above, the moon was new and so was love.
This eager heart of mine was
singing: "Lover, where can you be?"
You came at last, love had its
day, that day is past, you've gone away.
This aching heart of mine is
singing: "Lover, come back to me!"
When I remember every little
thing you used to do, I'm so lonely.
Every road I walk along, I walk
along with you, no wonder I am lonely.
The sky is blue, the night is
cold, the moon is new, but love is old,
And while I'm waiting here, this
heart of mine is singing:
"Lover, come back to
me!"
