Lover, Come Back to Me!

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!

I remember every little thing you used to do

I'm so lonely

Every road I walk along

I'd walked 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!

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:

Oh, lover, oh, lover, come back to me!
