The days are long, the nights are lonely
Since you left me all alone
I worried so, my little darlin'
I worried so since you've been gone

Sweetheart of mine, can't you hear me callin'
A million times that I love you best
I mistreated you, darlin', I'm sorry
Come back to me is my request

I remember, dear, the night we parted
A big mistake had caused it all
If you come back, sunshine will follow
If you stay away 'twill be my fall

The nights are long, my little darlin'
Oh how I need your sweet embrace
When I awoke the sun was shinin'
I looked up and I saw your face
