Verse:

You went away, I let you,  We broke the ties that bind.
I wanted to forget you,  And leave the past behind.
Still, the magic of the night I met you,  Seems to stay forever in my mind.

 

Chorus:

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 ev'ry little thing you used to do, I'm so lonely.
Ev'ry road I walk along,  I've 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!"
