- Verse:
- A song bird yearns to sing
a love song,
- The roses yearn just for
the dew,
- The whole world's yearning
for the sunshine,
- I have a yearning too.
Chorus:
- Yearning just for you,
- That's all I do my dear.
- Learning why I'm blue,
- I wish that you were near.
- Smiles have turned to tears,
- Days have turned to years.
- Yearning just for you,
- I hope you're yearning too.
