Drive My Gloom Away 1920

Ev'ry day the world becomes more blue,
nor do I understand why this is true.
Life's a beastly bore.
I know not why,
no bright sun is in the brooding sky
and yet somehow I know
your absence makes it so.

I'd love to have you with me all the time,
To hear you say again that you are mine,
To grasp your hands
and gaze into your eyes,
and see that burning fire that never dies.
I'd pray for you and work for you each day,
and o'er my heart and soul you would hold sway,
Your love an inspiration
would be just the combination
come back and drive my gloom away

I'd love to have you with me all the time,
To hear you say again that you are mine,
To grasp your hands
and gaze into your eyes,
and see that burning fire that never dies.
I'd pray for you and work for you each day,
and o'er my heart and soul you would hold sway,
Your love an inspiration
would be just the combination
come back and drive my gloom away.
