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

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

I remember now, the night we parted
A big mistake had caused it all
If you'll return, sunshine will follow
To stay away would be my fall

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

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

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