You've gone and left me all alone -
All by myself - can't telephone.
In a world of days gone by,
A grayish gloom completes the sky.
Every day my thoughts are fleeting
As the daylight keeps retreating.
You loved me more than you could show.
I loved you too but didn't know.
I couldn't see through all the years,
But now my eyes are filled with tears
That fall from places far away
When you left me on that day.
