Verse:

When eve'ning comes along,  The night bird sings his song;

It makes me sad and blue,  Because he sings of you.

Most ev'ry thing I see brings back a memory of you,

Just you, and yet what can I do?

 

Chorus:

I'm Dreaming the lonesome hours away,

Longing for you, all thru the day;

And in the twilight, Beneath the starlight,

Thoughts of you, Make me blue.

I'm Watching the shadows down the lane,

Wond'ring if you will come again;

And while you sleep on, I'll just keep on

Dreaming The Hours Away.
