Oh, why must the nights be so long and so blue?
And why must I always be thinking of you?
Oh, why have I loved you so many long years?
And why can't my memories wash away with my tears?
I'm crying myself to sleep each lonely night I weep.
I'm all right through the day, but when day goes away,
I'm crying myself to sleep.
I love you, my darling, my memories burn.
I'm thinking of you, dear, and love unreturned.
It just doesn't matter to you, so it seems that I can't forget you, not even in dreams.
I'm crying myself to sleep each lonely night I weep.
I'm all right through the day, but when day goes away,
I'm crying myself to sleep.
