Outside the bright Sun is shining

Outside the red roses bloom

Inside my poor heart is pining

Inside there's nothing but blue

I knew I'd miss your smile

And miss your kisses for awhile

But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue

I knew that summer nights

Would never hold the same delights

But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue

Both sleeping and waking

My poor heart is aching

You know, dear, it's breaking for you

I'll be in Heaven when

I hold you in my arms again

But until then I'll just be oh, so blue

Most every night I go strolling

Down through the old lovers' lane

One thought is sometimes consoling

Maybe we'll stroll there again

I knew I'd miss your smile

And miss your kisses for awhile

But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue

I knew that summer nights

Would never hold the same delights

But never knew that I'd be oh, so blue

Both sleeping and waking

My poor heart is aching

You know, dear, it's breaking for you

I'll be in Heaven when

I hold you in my arms again

But until then I'll just be oh, so blue
